Spring Rates and Specs
- Thread starter WEAVZ79
- Start date
Please help me with this as my tyre's are constantly rubbing the arches over bumps in the road. Specifically I am trying to find any information on the 'rough road' specs for the C5 Quattro. Also with regards to the weight ranges / categories am I right in assuming the higher the number or alphabetic letters e.g. DQ the more weight that component can take.
You have just answered your own question !!
You are running the wrong size tyres , the fuel cap numbers will give you the size you need to match from , if you have not got 18’s on your fuel cap then you would need different suspension uprights to accommodate them ,
So looking at the fuel cap sticker tells us everything !!
I don’t need to look at it , I can tell you your non standard set up is not compatible !
It’s not rocket science , leave your suspension alone and fit the right size tyres !!

Couchie, its called modifying. A small increase in height will fix the issue and provide a better set up for my **** local roads. Reducing the aspect ratio will get me round one issue but cause exactly what I am trying to avoid as there will be no flex in the sidewall. The original question was to do with spring rates.
