I need to learn how to ask questions better haha :/


how are you finding the ride quality of the springs compared to standard? And especially after you've cut 1/4 from top and bottom?

I'm looking at them on ebay and the only numbers on ebay page is

Spring Rate Front/Back: 170 lbs / 200 lbs



most other springs i've found have been front 5or6kg/mm and rear 3or4km/mm spring rate and I don't know how to compare those numbers

To me, they are barely any stiffer than the stockers. Not really firm feeling or bouncy at all. I would definitely recommend these for street only, and would not want them on a track.

These were some of the softest lowering springs I could find in my price range, and that's what I wanted, since the harder the spring you need the stiffer the shock you need to keep it under control.

I'm pretty sure he is. Here where I live we even call it "Innova fender gap." (Innova is an MPV/AUV)
