hmmm can anyone let me sit in their car drive me around for 5 minutes with this suspension setup? I'll buy you lunch coffee or whatever... I need to see whether the spring rate and ride are stiff enough to my liking before i consider something else like espelirs or s14 springs

any response would be appreciated... it just seems to me the 2.5k spring rates are waaayyy too soft for me

I would hate to hit the bump stops or anything like that or have any floaty feeling

your splitting hairs, your worrying over something very irrelevant.

just about any "lowering sping" such as espelier, tein whatever will have a nice close to stock feel.

remember your not even lowering it that much so just decide and get it and be done.

A fomer member is in So Cal, but he got banned....but long story short, there is one member that complained about the Teins. I have them now for about a year, go for it. The ride is perfect, no way is it too soft, the Teins are just fine and are a good way to go. For sure they stiffer than stock and joined with the KYB SR Specials they rock. Just do it.

:D :D :D no one has time for a ride? I'm still interested in trying them out I see what you guys are saying I'm just a little cautious my Maxima has JICs with a 8k/6k rate and my S14 has Tanabes which are 7k/5k and those are considered 'soft' by many haha
