So I am ordering these D2/Ksport coilovers and I am looking at 2 choices
7 front / 5 rear (default for our application.) or 5 front / 4 rear Vendor told me that there is no need to revalve shocks unless your going over +/- 2 from default rates. What would you order for your "spirited daily driver" machines ? Will the difference be noticeable between the two? I have been riding on KYBs and Tein ST springs and 45 sidewall and i hate it, nail stuff thats 3" off the ground, not to mention that potholes are the biggest enemies of my tailbone (and rims+tires). Since even 5/4 is stiffer than teins 3.9/2.2 will my ride be more harsher? even though on 5/4 i would have matched dampers on softest dampening setting (as opposed to KYB w/ tein springs)? Please advice. I need to make my purchase this weekend. Any help is greatly appreciated. -------------------- QUOTE(tufy @ Jul 19, 2006 - 7:40 AM) [snapback]458074[/snapback] i dont drive fast, i just fly low |

softest setting should soften the ride. but will still be stiff.

I see. as far as harshness goes will 5/4 rates on softest dampening be harsher than tein springs and kyb shocks? -------------------- QUOTE(tufy @ Jul 19, 2006 - 7:40 AM) [snapback]458074[/snapback] i dont drive fast, i just fly low |
