yea thats what i'm talkin about. i just want a drop, and just like how we aren't ricers that cut our springs to lower our car, we don't want to just throw on some springs that are gonna make our shocks poop out in no time. im' lookin for similar ride quality, just lower look.

ive stated this before but i do not like my TEIN stune shock setup. the ride height is perfect. anything higher and i would just want it lower. even at this height my front camber is -1.6. great for a race car, not for a DD. so yes you will need a camber kit if you want to conserve tires. the rear camber is maxed out. it is barely within factory specs. now as soon as i install 15mm spacers all around i will DEF need a front and rear camber kit!

Now with a little bit of research just right now I have found that even the Spec R for the EVO is very popular as well as the springs for s2000, and because Swift designed them around the OEM shock the springs even though the rates are much stiffer than competitors they are within damping range, and it doesnt seem like anyone is having any problems. And the general consensus is that it is even more comfortable than stock. http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=813701 http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tir...g-springs.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tir...-comments.html Obviously even this I would just take with a grain of salt. Again as I said the Swift race springs are extremely linnear, in fact I can even post up a dyno of one of the springs I have tested for one of the chassis Im building. It almost looks like someone drew this graph out with a ruler. I hope this helps of if you can even understand it, I am not too much of a writer. Last edited by s30z; 09-03-2010 at 07:15 PM. |

So what would happen if you installed a set of springs with much lower spring rates on Nismo struts? (Tanabe for instance)
