Changing Spring rates in Tein SS?
Does anyone know if Tein carries/ or is will ing to make softer or harder springs for their coilover kits? I have a set of Tein SS in my 95 Integra and the ride quality is ****. Im talking, like the back of the car jumps clean off the ground on even the most modest of bumps. So I wanted to order some softer springs and I did'nt know where I can get em. Does anyone know if Tein sells them? or do I have to go elsewhere? thanks
you get them through tien. I believe they are 2.75" inside diamter coilsprings, so you can't use the much more common 2.5" diamter springs that everyone else makes.
are the springs bouncing? I didn't think SS's were really that stiff. If its bouncy, you need to increase the damping on the shock settings.

In order to maintain any drivability to the car I have to keep them at full stiff in the rear. It only makes it slightly better.

i would agree, i had the ss and i could only lower them to a 1" gap, and could never get the dampening dialed in on the street...
it was like i was a piece of popcorn in a popcorn machine.... driving on the freeway.. forget it, i would be thrown off my seat at 55mph on normal slopes of the road that is gay as ****... on smooth roads it was fine>> but you expect that with a smooth road.
i went with the flex system and now i am at a 3" drop no finger gap, and have finally dialed in the coilovers. i no longer feel like a popcorn.
