Do you know of anyone that makes a coil over set up with the rear having the spring over the damper? I don't think that the rear strut tower is designed to support the force of both the damper and the spring.
I should (finaly) get my Tein Flex on monday or tuesday. I have Tein SS right now and they ride good on the stiffest setting and handle better on the stiffest setting too (not only because its stiffer but also because it eliminated the mid corner bounce after the weight transfer) So since the ride is fine on my SS, i figured i had room to add stiffness without hating the ride. But thats me.
You really need to ask yourself some questions. Do i think the Si is stiff stock? Do i want to spend $1600 on a suspension that might me too stiff for me. Am i going to race the car down the road? ( Auto X here i come
) And do some research on the spring rates. Go luck in your choice.
