RS-R springs on S13 with an SR anyone....??

[hilux30]

rs-r spring sucks because they are not stiff, well not for me

I have RS-R springs but not with an SR, I really don't know why that matters.

The temp suspension I have on my car is RS-R springs on some grey JDM adj. shocks and tein HA up front. The RS-R sit too high for my liking. I keep looking at my car like I don't want to drive it because it's not low enough, can't wait to get my tein HE's back from overhaul car is on incline so doesn't really help all the way

What wheels are these? What size are they and what size tire do you run? I am curious because I just ordered a set of Desmond Longchamp XR3's that look very similar to those. Mine are 17 x 8 +35 F /17 x 9 +32 R . I have the RS-R race springs on Koni yellows.

the sr is lighter than the ka so it doesn't weigh the front end down as much

rims are 17 X 9 up front 235/40/17 rear 17x10 265/40/17

you know what I'm thinking I should go get those Tein Flex's, that will solve all my issues with ride high. But I like the Rs*Rs they are stiff it's just that stance!!!I'm running 17x8 and 17x9 and i'm still not satisfied

I think my RS-R's handled pretty well, they are not as low as I would like but thats what coils are for.

[rawphusion]

I would go tein HA’s before flex probably won’t be stiff enough is my thought you want damper control if your doing coil over. Granted I could not live with the RS-R's if they were my only option for suspension they effect my turn in to greatly. I have to let off the gas to settle my rear end before I take a corner (i.e.: Highway, back roads) but with my tein HE's I was able to get the ride height I wanted and the suspension was stiff she drove like she was on rails, did not move. I guess that's why the rear right is the only tein that gave out on me, but yeah go coilover I'll try and get a rear shot you can really see then she sits like a 60’s or 70’s muscle car not the best stance she needs to be level for grip driving

i have some on a car with sohc...i had to remove my bumper support to tinker around one afternoon and it literally looks like its accelerating while sitting still lolthey are ok stiffness but some adjustable shocks help out lots.bottom line is, it wont be low enough to look cool, handleing is much better than stock but still not that great and you will be left wanting coilovers...

Shocks/Springs combo isn't terrible if you're looking to keep some comfort in your car.

Project is on JIC FLT-A2's and love them. Go fairly low and ride amazingly well, but they're not exactly comfortable(unless you like a stiff ride...).

Daily will soon be on AGX shocks / Tein springs. It won't be slammed, but won't look terrible either.

All personal preference.

If you think you'll be looking to go lower in the future, save up for good coilovers.(No Megan, Ksport, Godspeed, etc).

Stance are perfect for those people on a budget looking to get the most bang for their buck.

I don't know it off hand. I had it written down but can't find it at the moment. The front's clear my 300zx brakes. I have to do some maintance this weekend I'll probally pull two off then and get the info. Oh yeah and someone asked what rims are they and there Veni, Vidi, Vici Mahdi Caesar's
