I have a set of TEIN HA's for my 01 lude, but the 675lb F and 450lb R spring rates are a little too much for a daily driver on Michigan roads. (I wish I worked some place else!)

anyone know the spring rates for the TEIN SS's?

Also, are the dampers the same for the SS and HA's? or different?

Thanks,
Daniele DeFranceschi

http://www.tein.com has all your answers.

The spring rates are 8F 4R kg/mm which translate to 448F 224R lb/in. I've been told from a Tein distributor that the shocks are valved less agressively than the HA. So the SS is definitely more for street driven daily drivers.

That's a little softer in the rear than I wanted... I was hoping for something closer to 300. I guess I'm too picky!

what to do, what to do????

holy ****! haha... those spring rates were off the wall... that is way tooooooo stiff... i have ground control coilovers on my ride and i have 400 front and 375 rear... just a lil bit stiffer than what gc usually sends which is 375 front 350 rear...

but up to 450 front and 425 rear is perfectly fine for street roads...

 

Oh I forgot. You can order special spring rates from TEIN. So maybe you can get your 300lb springs.
