HEY! U guys i need some help with my suspension for my s13. I just recently put a set of HA's on my car. I bought them used and had the front rebuilt, it comes with pillow ball mounts and no helper spring. The rear seems to be ok there's no leak and it has a good rebound rate. My problem now is that it's very stiff in the back and whenever i hit a bump it would make a "thud" noise, it almost sounds like it's loose. I set the dampening at 10 front and 12 rear( TEIN's recommendation). I doubled checked everythimg, I made sure all the nuts and perch are locked and tight. I also called tein for advice but all they could tell me is that my springs might be too stiff. I don't know the load rate on the rear cuz it doesn't have a part no. and i bought these at a shop that export used JDM parts to the US, so i have no way of finding out. I just wanna know if this is normal. Should i buy new spring with lower rate or helper springs? I might even think of selling it, if things don't work out. Thanks, Mike
