Hi i have a quick question. I have a set of Tein superstreet coilovers on my ej1. looking for stiffer springs at the moment i have approx 380lb/in on the front and 180lb/in on the rear. I want to know if i can fit say eibach or koni springs to my Tein Dampers? Or would it be easier to buy koni dampers and buy my springs of choice.

 

measure the ID of your springs & let us know what the number is

 

ID is 70mm.

 

Scratch that i called my eibach supplier they provide springs in 685lb/in MAX with a 70mm ID. And 1200lb/in and 900lb/in with a 62.5mm ID. So i gotta take my coilovers off and see if a 62.5mm ID will fit.
If not do you know of any company that make springs with a 70mm ID 200mm long and rates of 1200lb/in and 900lb/in.Thanks

 

even if the springs fit, the Tein damper may not be able to handle too much of a higher rate...just a possibility for you to consider.

what he said.

 

I was thinking that alright. I wonder if there is a way of knowing if it will be able to hack it.

 

are you driving on full blown slicks? i can't imagine why you would need rates that high on even R compounds unless you are one of those guys who actually enjoys a tight car. personally i'm always faster slightly loose. the 500 range is as high as i would ever go on non R compound tires.

 

i run on Toyo R888. Anyways regardless. It will work out cheaper if i sell what i have now, i can sell my current set up for €650. And buy new koni's and springs again.
