I understand that, this is not my first coilover purchase.

I'm still tossing and turning over this though.

 

I had 900 front and 950 rear with a stock 02 front sway. On a good day I could be fast with that setup but it was just a little twitchy for me.

I'm changing it up by going to an Eibach front sway, 800 lb rear springs, and an 04 rear sway. The added bonus of using a rear sway is c4 v that you can easily soften the rear for rainy days.

I have no idea how this will compare but I'll be updating my blog after my test day at Thunderhill on the 7th.

 

Other people won't be as inclined to help after reading this. He was answering your question.

Monoflexes are under damped, I wouldn't consider Thunderhill as being a very bumpy track and those things feel like pogo sticks on the track. I would go with a Koni, Koni from GC, Bilstein PSS9 or KW. If you can get your hands on a used set of Penskes, Motons or JRZ's that would be very nice. Another option is to get some PSS's and send them in to Bilstein to get revalved to your spring rate of choice, total cost is roughly 1700 bucks.

 

i have Monoflex with stock 12/10 springs - and i think it gives good balance.

 

I was basically asking what were the standard spring rates other companies used so I could compare them to the teins. I wanted to see if anyone knew why they set them up that way. Obviously I understand that you can choose spring rates on coilovers... that's kinda why I am posing these questions, no? I figured he was trying to be a smart ass.

 

When you purchase Motons, JRZ's, Penskes and Ohlins they don't come with springs. Motons can be purchased from SOS as an S2000 setup with springs and top hats but that is their recommended setup not Motons.
He wasn't being a smart ass he was just answering your question, he's a nice guy that likes to help.

 

Search. The forum is full of information and reviews of various setups and finding out what spring rates other coilovers come with is one of the quickest and easiest things to find out. Don't be lazy, type a certain brand coilover in the search option and read up. These generalized questions have been covered a thousand times. Read up and post a more specific question.

Opinions on HKS hypermax III (13/11) with the eibach bars and an APR GTC-200 wing? How do you think this will handle? I'm thinking it'll make the car understeer a little but I could be wrong seeing as the rear eibach bar is bigger than the one I have now.
