comfortable slammable coilover
heard the apex were good too, I originally wanted the buddy clubs or the pss9s. just ordered the skunk2 coilovers cuz i liked how their springs rode. I think i could live with 10k/10k. thanks for all the input guys, I'll let you know how the skunks are in a few weeks, thanks
funny how many people think turning the little knob on their damper will change it from soft to hard.
well, you can't change the spring rate by turning a knob, most of the low end coilover(relatively speaking) have a narrow band of change even tho' it has 30 or 45 ways of changes. A good percentage of the damper change only effective at certain damper speed, it's not perfectly linear(or anything close, to be honest)
controlling suspension travel with stiff spring is not the ulimate fix neither, factor in droop travel, camber change, etc
not dissing anyone into the slammed thing, i know it's personal thing and i can see some people would perfer the look over a well functional suspension

the tien cs is what I was first looking at when I was shopping, its not slammable past 1.5 right? hows it ride?
at 4k and 6k(again, ap1 baised rate), the spring rate is way to soft to control the amount of travel. It sounds like it will ride bumpstop all the time if you lower it more than "normal"

probably one of the worst coilover to get if you looking to "slam"

I have yet to feel my bumpstops at all.
