I know you want soft springs and appropriatly tuned dampners, so that you don't bounce when you hit an imperfection in the road or compromise your comfort. But my friends Corolla needs better dampners. But they don't quite need replacing. I pushed down hard on his front corner of his car, his car too easily moves up and down. It continues to move up and down almost twice after you stop pushing dwnward on a specific corner. His car needs new dampners- definetly, stiffer springs cause his **** is just plain too soft (not that much stiffer than stock) Like I said stock spring rates on his Corolla are: 150lbs./in up front and 130lbs./in in the rear. He also needs larger slid sway bars, a rear lower tie bar and whatever is available for his suspension/chassis. Drive a 2000 Toyota Corolla base trim level and you will see what I mean.
-I know that Tein rebuilds there own dampners upon request but if they only sell springs for a certain application then will they rebuild the stock dampners? I emailed them this question and am waiting for there response.
