Tein HE's to firmness of Sportlines???

[JasonNagra]

Okay I am going to get new coilovers for my hatch. So now I'm going to throw the HE's on my coupe (daily driver). I was wondering, if I was to knock down the spring rates to lets say 4kg FR and 3kg R, how soft would the ride be, assuming the dampening knob is at full soft??? Would that be near sportline firm?? I am basically trying to get the daily drivens car ride quality to that of a stock porsche (in terms of stifness) or like Sportlines on AGX shocks set near soft. Thanks any input would be appreciated. J-

you can go up or down 2kg on th estock shocks
still pretty stiff i think...check the FAQ for spring rates and compare that w/ people who own them

[JasonNagra]

Aaron are you saying I can only go down to only 6kg front and 4kg rear, MAX on the HE's??

[JasonNagra]

Hmm the Tein Flex seems to have a spring rate somewhat similar to that of Sportlines. Could I go 5kg 4kg rear on the HE's?? I wonder how Flex's ride?? How would the valving of the HE's play into this???

Man I tried to get info on lower spring rates and shit for my TEIN HE's but I couldn't get any help. Tried emailing TEIn and they fucking said to talk to a distributor. I didn't try calling them though. Tried talking to a few shops so I gave up and bought those K-sport coilovers on a GB on NICO. Seems like a downgrade though but I haven't got them in yet so I don't know. :\ If you find the info out Nagra let me know because I'll be more than happy to keep my TEIN HE's. I didn't like the ride on the 405 man the stiffness got annoying after awhile considering I commute to CSULB everyday from Hawthorne. anybody's help would be appreciated.

jason, yeah tein says you can go up or down 2 kg WITHOUT a revalve
any lower or higher could possibly blow the shock.
