Default Tein SS Coilover

I'm using a Tein SS coilover for my 94 Accord. However, even I turn it to the hardest setting, it's still too soft to me. What would be the best way to make my coilover harder? Should I buy a new springs for it?
Thank you very much.

I believe Tein makes stiffer springs you can swap. I'm sure you'll have to buy them. I found my Tein SS to be on the softer side also. I have learned to enjoy it after riding on Skunks for 3 years. Public roads are too rough in my area to enjoy a stiffer setup.

2 options

1. Get new springs
2. Send them in and Tein will revalve them

To me they felt soft too, but after going to a couple of track runs here and there, I just found out that they're set up very well.

Sometimes people confuse stiff for bouncy, and thats because their setup is not matched up correctly. Tein coilovers seem like a breeze over potholes, but you pull them into a turn with you, and they will be honest, I promise.

It sticks, it absorbs bumps, and being so soft, they dont even roll too much.

Get an ST sway bar, cusco strut tower bars, front and back...you'll have an awesome ride and outhandle 500lb/600lb spring setups on koni yellows.
