Still in development. No ETA.

hey honest answer, how much stiffer are these compare to stock si suspension? my car is daily driven, i've had stiffer "springs" in the past and i know these are stiffer on paper (12k front and 10k back) but is it something a average person can adjust to? lmk and thanks in advance man, the ride looks awesome!

damnu · 05-19-2008, 06:27 PM

definitely can, i was VERY suprised on how they rode for the spring rate it is. The ride isnt ruff at all, there are no jolts when hitting bumps.

i have a quick question. a friend of mine has offered me his "d2 rs" full coilover suspension for 400.00, but he wants to trade my stock springs for his set up. he also has an fg2 and i have an fa5. will this work out?, fitment wise?

Yes, they should change over without a problem.

Hey man I have a couple and put my rears on different (opposite way you did) does that make a different? When I put the rears on it acually raised my car. I tried to adjust the rings, but they didn't move. Got the bottem one loosened, but can't get the top. Any help?

You installed them wrong and will need to correct it. I would try PB blaster or WD-40 to loosen the rings.

So which is the right way for the rears? I see two opposite directions...

where in dallas are you btw?

The pic you quoted by me is installed correctly. The other one is installed incorrectly.

Let me know if you have any questions.

jashton · 07-10-2008, 02:22 PM

For anyone asking, i'm dropped to the max on these springs and the ride quality is outstanding for being this low. They ride stiffer but it is not a BAD ride quality, it is just stiffer.

1 finger gap all around. Ride is a tiny bit stiffer. Ride quality is stock but with less body roll. Alignment to come this Saturday. Overall, VERY PLEASED!
