Opinion on RS*R

[Matt240SE]

OK, first off I am buying springs for my S14a and Im paring them up with some KYB AGX's. On http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/240sx.htm they have some RS*R sprinsg for $155.00.

My questoin is are these the same springs that are in the Sring archives...

RSR Hard Springs
_ _ _Front = 5.0 kg/mm | 280 lb/in
_ _ _Rear = _4.2 kg/mm | 235 lb/in

If not would you all recommend them? They claim a 2 inch drop, it seems kinda low but give me soem feedback.

NO! those are SOFT ones, how do i know? my friend had them and we know RS*R USA personally. those are the soft
the hard wont be here till months end and dont know when dealers will sell them.

they are great btw. excellent for street use

these ones on turbo import are 3.8 kg front, 3 kg rear for s14

[Matt240SE]

Well shat! Thanks for the speedy reply, guess I will wait for the hard ones.

Anyone know of a good Linear spring thats not the kg/mm(just because i dont have the budget for them)

[misnomer]

Damn, 280 lb/in is really that soft?

Heck, my Tokicos at ~160 are hard enough for me, plus I can't argue with the price :-)

Or am I just reading this wrong and the ones in the link are not the spring rates listed. . . I just love all the useful information you can't find in catalogues :P

yes, we're screwing with you. please don't visit the above website. kg/mm refers to spring rates and thats it. of course no one is crazy enough to name a BRAND after spring rate... why, its so silly...

:cool:

thanks steeles.

pruto, you're wrong. :D

sorry, i've never heard of them.

Yup, you were just reading it wrong, and the listed rates are not for the linked springs.

This is also more of a Tech Talk thread...

[hurleyboi514]

the rates for the RS*R race springs S13 are 5kgF/4.5kgR. im probably gonna get them whenever they come out. hey dousan, are you still sponsored by RS*R?

[Dousan_PG]

i was never 'sponsored' like sponsored sponsored, just know them well so they help me out (in various ways). not sure what's going on. its opening up soon so they are SUPER busy getting ready. should be open by may i think..i forget. hehe...
im excited.
