For roads in decent condition they are actually slightly softer riding than stock or the same. If you visit extreme pot holes or speed bumps you will definitely feel the stiffer side of them though. The progressive nature of them means they really only have higher than stock springs rates when doing extreme cornering or hitting sharp bumps in the road.

Cool. I'm just going to install them and not tell her, we'll see how it long it takes before she notices.

hi i am wondering what are the best springs for the MR? I keep hearing swift? I want it as low as i can on springs but not compromise too much of the ride?? Thanks guys

[FknWitdee]

I am on the same boat. I have an MR and not sure what springs to go with.

Hi I have EVO X GSR, And I want to change springs, Which Springs do you hugest me?
We have really bad roads here and i just want to feel little bet more sporty but not lowering down so much, So which one should i go with?
Cobb ........................... 3.8 kg* .......... 3.1 - 4.1 kg* ........ 1.3" / 1.4"
Eibach Pro ................ 2.6 - 4.9 kg ...... 1.8 - 4.8 kg .......... 1.2" / 1.0"
Swift Sport Mach ...... 2.7 - 4.3 kg ...... 2.3 - 4.4 kg .......... 1.0" / 0.6"

Beside spring do i have to install anything else?!
Sorry new to this stuff

^ I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not really a suspension guy, but I know you don't have to install anything else in conjunction with springs. I was considering Swift or Works. It sounds like your roads are just like ours here in the pothole capital of the world, PA. I'm not really sure which springs will be the best without killing my ride quality.

I went with the Eibach but they are at the limits for the amount of drop and are about as stiff as you would want to go with the stock shocks. I even had to trim the front rubber lip on my Aero kit because I was scraping it on everything. If you don't want as much drop the Swift Sport Mach seem like a really good bet to me.

Good morning everyone, I read through the whole thread but I'm still unclear as to why some lowering springs for example:

Works .9" .................... 3.8 kg* .......... 3.2 - 4.3 kg* ........ 0.9" / 0.9"

have a broad range (3.2 - 4.3 kg*) of rate? How come it's not a set rate like the front for instance?

[Jblade]

^ the ones with ranges are progressive spring rates, meaning they get stiffer the more that they're compressed

[love67]

which spring has the most stiffest and performance?
thanks

[Hobbitos]

I think the =>

Tanabe GF210 ............. 4.5 kg ............... 3.5 kg ............... 0.7" / 1.1"

Are the best. Very good for track!

Add hotchkin sway bars and you are almost in coilover territory but decent on the road.

Did a few updates, if anyone has new springs or coilovers to add to the list let us know. If there is more info I should be adding to the charts it's just a matter of getting the data for all the products.
