Those sure are pretty stiff spring rates.

But for 600$ that sounds almost too good to be true

14/8 is not stiff spring rates. stances come in 18/10 or 18/12 and feel very comfortable at the soft settings.

with 14/8 it will be more "sporty" then stiff compared to stock.

i wouldnt buy them. they look like some cheap chinese ****.

they dont have pillow ball mounts. the rubber will wear out quickly most likely. email the manufacturer and act what they use as an insulator pad between the spring and the upper and lower spring perches.

my buddy bought a set of e-motoring coilovers for his s14. they were 500 bucks. they were ridiculously stiff even though it had soft springs in it....implying improper valving. my stances on stiff felt better then those on softer settings. those coilovers blew out after 2 months for the rears and 2.5 for the fronts.

this sounds like one of those deal.

Cam seriously if you want some coilovers lmk. i can help you get some stances. yes they are more money but they are worth it and the customer service you get from stance very good.

you have my number :-)

btw u still got that kevlar hood?

those spring rates are weak compared to stance and powered by max,

IMO save your money and by a nicer set.
