Well guys I did a search, barely anything came up. My goal isnt to lower the car much, its to get a stiffer ride. Now im buying itr struts, springs, and the itr srr lca. this will be for an eh2.

My 3 choices as of now.

Tein Tech S: Lowers the car, havnt found many spring rates though.

Comptech: Lowers the car 1/2 to 3/4, but still havent found spring rates.

Tanabe sustec GF210: The car is lowerd between 30-40mm, and spring rates are 20-30% over stock.

But on there websites I havnt found the actual spring rates, im pretty sure some of you have one of these springs. So if anyone could throw in there .02, good or bad. Would be appreciated.

Might wanna check out Zeal suspension. its great.

 

Don't forget about H&R springs. They will be better than the comptech ones.

 

Thank you kim for the rate table.

EDIT: The zeals are coil overs, I just need springs.

Is too stiff of a spring a bad thing? I dont care if the car feels ever little dimple in the road.

wont eibach make custom rates/sizes? Or hypercoil?

 

Kg/mm supersports or Spoon Progressive are two good choices!!!

 

I'm a Tein Stech (medium) man myself... I love'm.

This is why you spend the big bucks on a good set of shocks (cough* koni or bilstein not tokico or agx *cough).

The people feeling every dimple are the same ones who ride on stock shocks after they upgrade their springs .

 

ok, can somebody help me out?
is it alright to run with S-techs and stock shocks?
i know with other springs you'll need shocks for sure but i haven't heard anything about the s-techs

 

I've run on my S.Tech mediums for nearly 30k miles on stock shocks... comfy ride.

 

Actually, the reason you feel every dimple on stock shocks is because the Koni and Bilsteins are softer than stock (at least in the rear). I don't know of any aftermarket off the shelf rear shocks except for the GAB's and Tokico Rallye rears that are stiffer than the OEM ITR rears. Both of those are reasonably challenging to get ahold of as well.
