I'd like to drive it again. I think even stiffer shocks would be better like kyb AGX, KYB SR or KYB a-just.
Just my opinion.
What I don't get is that the springs are almost the same rate as hyperco...hyperco(300f, 200r), megan racing(280f, 230r) which still feel soft to me. While Tein s.tech(170f, 280r) and tein h.tech(190f, 250r).
Why are Teins so soft. I spoke to a suspension expert and he said every manufacturer has different philosophies on suspension tuning. He said soft suspensions provide the best adhesion to the road no holds barred, however the body roll that results disturbs the dynamics of the car when negotiating a series of turns. This is why stiffer springs are better for autocros, to handle the transition from one turn into the next. He went further to say that, with soft springs, stiff shocks are needed to handle daily driving and a bit of sportiness.
Cuz as we saw last night, when we tested Mikey's suspension which was stock springs with stiff shocks. The car didn't budge. Any how, stiff springs/soft shocks (bouncy), soft springs/stiff shocks(a bit rough but better road holding), stiff springs/ stiff shocks (firm, rough, less adhesion but more control due to predictability).
I like the h.tech drop but the rates are soft, so I will have to combine it with something stiff to prevent bottoming out and other issues.
Tein BASICS sounding more attractive...but damn the price.
Get stiffer shocks cuz, unless the shocks are really settling. But give it 2 weeks and see, after all these american dudes don't know how bad our roads are. I know they have bad roads, but I wish we had roads full stop. Your road alone is a pogo stick with stock suspension.
