How many coilovers?

What sort of rate are you thinking of running?

Who is doing the coils (or coilovers)?

Fawk - that is some spec.

Single rate, dual or triple.

Are you going to run anti roll bars or anything to limit travel or just the coilovers.

1100kg front, 1200kg rear - 2300kg all up, empty with a full tank

I'm surprised that you need to weigh it. To exclude the unsprung weight the spring makers (Lovells) measured my springs installed, tested the old springs for rate and weight, then did their calculations from there - I just told them the installed height and rate I wanted (plus progressive details for the rear) and they used this data to make some pretty good springs. They even allowed the sag factor. I was going to use Kings but their design dept didn't seem as good to me - though they were heaps cheaper.
