Tein coilover question

[dtowndrifter]

hey ppl.. I have these tein super streets an i want to go lower with these ..But i've already maxed them out...I was looking at the tein website an tjey sell two springs you can replace the coil springs with..a standard spring an a racing spring..will the racing spring provide more drop? or what?

I have the standard spring that my super streets came with..here http://www.tein.com/products/standard_spring.html

then theres these you can buy

http://www.tein.com/products/racing_spring.html

do these provide more of a drop? i'm already maxed out^^^

the "racing" springs probably just have higher spring rates (stiffer).

I have the same suspension on my car and was wondering the same thing myself. So from what I found out (Directly from Tein) is that you really cant go any lower on that application without negatively affecting the shock. They recommend upgrading the suspension to something that was designed to go lower, like their Super Drift or Flex Coilovers. Even then its only a difference of about .4"

Go outside and measure two things.1. The spring length 2. The spring Diameter

I bet its 7+ something inches tall and has a spring seat diameter of 65mm

If so, you're in luck.

They have a 6" spring, but you'll have to bump your spring rate to 8+

I really don't know what the longevity the coilovers would be with those springs because the bottom mounts aren't adjustable.
