Miata w/ 5100 & ?? spring rates

[leftme]

What is the max spring rate the off the shelf 5100s are valved for? I'm considering going to STS or CSP next year. Want to see if I would need a revalve to handle higher spring rates.

I am using 700/450 F/R with my AST 4100s on my 1993 Miata. I had to install NB shock hats for extra travel in the rear. Let me know if you need more info.

Do you know what length?
I'm going to buy the springs locally, I'm tired of paying the border fees when getting stuff from the USA.

Thanks,
Clayton

Thanks for the replies, I don't want to go above 700/450. Guess I'm good.

Yea, Jarrett's set-up seems to work very well...





Let us know if you need a set.

You can go 800/550 or so. After that I'd revalve them.
