[rocketLAG]

I got these info less than 2mins of google search... Maybe it would have taken less time than making new thread about asking spring rate differences...

Try to search before you make new thread in future.

and of course "You are welcome".

Thats the Hyper RS. The Type RS is 9k/8k. Supposedly.

basic's don't go low at all

The RS are supposedly 8 and 9kg like you said. Its really strange. Becuase I used to have 8/9kg ksports, or so I thought. But these godspeeds are much softer feeling than the old.

Save up some more money and at least buy the Tein Super Streets, or a used set of Tein SuperDrift Coilovers. Tein headquarters is located in Downey, CA, so you can always get repairs once the dampers blow out. They can even build you custom dampers if you need something in particular.

i would go with the godspeed rs, i had the basics on my 99 prelude had it lowered almost all the way and it was too damn bouncy, and my boy just got some for his DA integra and the doesn't have them too low and they are bouncy as fizznuk, if you can get a dampening option with the godspeed go with those, just my $0.02

[XxCAPTAINxX]

save up and get Powered by Max. stiff as shit and will drop the car on the frame. if thats what you want.

I've heard tein basics are really soft, but thats just what I heard. Damn those godspeeds go pretty low^^^^^

Why waste money on other entry level bullshit coilovers?


OP, get whatever is cheapest. MR, isis, Godspeed, will all do the job that I assume you want: Low as possible, and stiff.


Unless you're doing a custom setup, or spending 1700+ on coilovers, they are all equally the same, and serve the same purpose. Don't let the fanbois/no nothings convince you otherwise, if you're going to spend 1200 on some name brand junk, you may as well just spend 800 on the same stuff, with the other band stickers ya know?
