Ag02M5 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Spring rate seems interesting since most of the weight is in the back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCJR Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for being so patient with this process guys. Here is the information that I have so far on these springs. Front 16.7KG Rear 9.0KG Front Drop: 1.25" inch drop Rear Drop: 1.15" inch drop Selling price hasn't been released yet. As far as the functions go, the sport springs IS compatible with the front lifting system. Please check back as I'll have more updates this/next week. If there is any way to alter the height/drop, I would take the rear down 1.5" OR reverse the numbers you posted. From the factory, the rear wheel gap space seems bigger than the front.

Guest SP_Lotta Murci Report post Posted October 30, 2012 Here is another sample of the aftermarket springs for LP series Gallardo. There has been delay for the release as were continously waiting for feedback and ride quality for these springs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambofan35 Report post Posted October 30, 2012 Awesome Green LP570. The drop looks really good. I'm not sure what the factory LP560 spring rates are but I'm sure KW designed their coilovers to be a little stiffer than the factory ones. They used 14K front, and 15K rear for the KW3 LP560 coilovers they offer. SP Engineering, I hope you don't mind me posting information regarding the Gallardo, R8 GT, LP560 Spring rates that I have put together. From SP's prior post on here 2008 Gallardo Superleggera Factory spring on Bilstein shocks Front: 9.0 KG (504lbs) Rear: 10.4 KG (582lbs) From SP's prior post on here Aftermarket Swift Springs sold for Gallardo's from SP Engineering for 2008 Superleggera Front: 10.3 KG (576.8lbs) Rear: 12.0 KG (672lbs) From KW's Suspension Manual KW V3 Coilovers Gallardo 04-08 Front: 530lb/in (9.5kg) 6.7in long spring on KW shock Rear: 742lb/in (13.3kg) 6.7in long spring on KW shock 20lb helper spring that is 3” long From KW's Suspension Manual KW V3 Coilovers LP560-4 Front: 800lb/in (14.3kg) 4.7in long spring on KW shock 3lb helper spring that is 3” long Rear: 856lb/in (15.3kg) 6.7in long spring on KW shock 10lb helper spring that is 3” long From R8Talk.com R8 GT uses Eibach Springs from the factory The front springs were identified in a picture. ERS numbers are easy to interpret. 200mm free length, 70mm diameter, 110 rate (n/mm) That equates to around a 630lb/in front spring. Now the is an "a" at the end of the part number which could either indicate it's just an R8 GT specific part Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted November 3, 2012 The Ithaca 570 looks insane, I like the wheels and the drop, I am curious to see what the verdict is on the springs after the test period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted November 27, 2012 I'd be curious to see if you can negate the bounce without making the ride any harsher. It's a fantastic looking setup and a must have for any LP Gallardo owner. Makes the car that much more aesthetically gorgeous!

Guest SP_Lotta Murci Report post Posted December 10, 2012 Sorry for the long delay gentleman, but we have been going through numerous testing back and forth with the subject and have finally "OK'd" the springs into production. We are forecasting the springs to be here in the states by the end of Feb 2013 and will start a production run of 10 sets. Will keep the community updated when I hear more from the factory. Thanks for the patience and your viewings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy888 Report post Posted December 28, 2012 So are these spring applications for the LP Gallardo's? I've got an 08 Superleggera and hate how soft the suspension feels. So I might give this some consideration if there is an pre LP application. If there is then my next 2 questions are: 1). How low will the car be? Will it be as low as the green Superleggera in this thread? 2). Will it work with the lift function? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCJR Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Did you stick with original lowered spec's? 1.25 front and rear? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss gt Report post Posted December 29, 2012 I have been emailing William Wong about these for a while. I want a set. However I think a few questions need to be answered for all the guys looking at these: Are you going to provide installation instructions? Do you need any special tools to install? Does the Lift system need to be "cracked" into or bled as a part of the install? I noticed the Green car you tested on had aftermarket wheels. Are there any scrubbing issues with those or stock wheels? Where are they being made? Do we get to know who is making these? (mainly looking for credentials) And of course, any pictures?? Thanks a bunch!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
