Stiffest springs for S13???

Post by **zachosz** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 2:51 am

Anyone know where to find what the spring rates for the different manufacturers? All I know is the Eibach's, but I'm looking for the stiffest ride possible, so if anyone has any info it would be appreciated. Ride height is not a factor, i just want STIFFNESS!!!

H&R Race Springs (not sure if they have an application for 240's), or Custom Spring-Rated GC's.

I have the H&R springs on my S13 and DAMN are they stiff. Free kidney massage with each pothole!

p.s. I also have the Tokiko blue non-adjustable shocks and urathane bushings everywhere except the rear subframe, so that doesn't help either.

Teins are 3.7(F) / 3.2(R) ... the S-Tech ... they are 200 US. Lower the car 1.5" and 1.2" in the rear.

I'm hearing a lot of people sayin the S Techs are too soft. to much bouncy-ness. i can't say for sure, never driven on them.

I am running HKS kg/mm and they are pretty darn stiff. I love the cornering prowess of the car now. They are very reassuring in the corners

They are paired up with AGXs on full stiff to handle them

woohoo stiffest springs yeah thats good. just get some really stiff springs and your handling will be sweet.

actually forget springs just weld rods between your shock and your chassis that will be hella stiff for super good jdm handling!!!!!!!~~

Good points, Chmercer!! Stiffest springs don't do much, except trash the ride quality. Tires, sways, with matched suspension is key. Or just get:

nah man thoes suck, usdm tires are no good, what you gotta do is import advans

My tire would be available for replacement via UPS from TireRack. Wear items should be sourced from a solid distributor that is 100% reliable. (TireRack)

Besides, I pay wholesale for my rubber! :fruit

well if the hr numbers are accurate then they are still stiffer. its kind of like apples and oranges though because the hrs are supposedly proggresive.
