Modded LX Vs Stock Si? - Page 4

So what we are looking for is the perfect amount of stiffness (no laughing now) depending on the vehicle.

If that is the case, then I guess the only way to tell is to run the course and see what happens. If HiRev says its close then it probably is.

I just got HFP's for my SI, it feels like I am glued to the ground, but I hope they are not too stiff.

Stiffness is relative. If you are on a glass smooth track, you can get away with really stiff springs. On a bumpy track with those springs, you will spend more time in the air than on the ground.

My next suspension will have 500/900 # springs f/r and those are for sure stiffer than the hfp.
