S13 Suspension Techniques Springs linear or progressive?

[Paul_Ward]

Never mind finally got a phone call to their tech support, linear.

I've been wondering for quite some time why nobody seems to use these springs. These ST springs seem like an all around good choice for a daily driver. Linear rate springs with about a 1.5" drop.

I've got a set on order, seems they are back ordered everywhere. Currently running Eibach pro's, but their progressive rates hurt me in slaloms at autox.

I have them on my S14. good stuff.

Great springs, comparable to the Tanabe Grip Feeling...

[UncleBen]

I take it sportlines are progressive as well....

Suspension Tech springs are great! I love them, they make the car feel extra solid compared to the sissy Sportlines (plus you don't want the sportlines unless your'e going with high quality dampers like Koni's) Also, when i switched from the sportlines to the suspension tech's, i barely noticed difference in ride height, the car is still at a good height. (pics of my car in the sig are with the sportlines though... must update them )

Why the hell nobody uses them is beyond me, they're the right price, and the best spring choice for the 240 out there. I had them recommended to me by a S14 owner. The springs are so stiff i had to turn my agx's settings down to 1/2. And the ride is great, just feels solid, not jarring.

Does anyone know the spring rates for the s14?

If not, what is the number to their tech support line?

I'm definitely going to run these whenever I re-do suspension stuffs

[NateDogg]

I've had them for a year with AGX and I must say they do work very well. The ride height looks very good and they are strong enough so they don't bottom out.

I figured if Asad and jimcs-13 (road racer) were using them, I couldn't go wrong. And I didn't! grin

Would definitely recommend for a daily driver.

I received and installed suspension technique springs last night. These springs are much more predictable. Car handles slaloms much better. Zero nose dive in hard braking. ( Note I have suspension technique sway bars also)

[skydragoness]

Now you know. :evilhaha

I'm very happy with mine, trying to find the optimum setting for my agx's and daily driving has been hard, since the tires i have on my stock 15's are starting to show how much they flex. (205/60/15's=flex with a stiff spring/shock combo)

Yes I would steer people away from Eibach pro kits if your car see track and autox time.

For track tires I run 205/50/15s, planning on upgrade to 225/45/17s.

So my tokico's aren't good enough for them? They seem to be doing pretty well after almost two years......

I thought about switching to ST Springs, but whats the point? I dont autox or anything. The sportlines have an excellent ride height, and are definately suiting my needs.
