I 'd like some feedback regarding a few things with the coilovers and SS system. Things such as whats your ride height (how many threads are showing below the locking nut). How long/did your coilovers settle? What damping setting on the SS are u using?
Thanks guys I'd just like to compare. On a side note, wow this suspension is great. Its unrelenting, takes the turns like a champ. Bumpier ride though. -------------------- |

i did some checking and based on TEIN's japanese website, SuperStreet jdm mcpherson and jdm superstrut spring rates are the same (F: 4kg/mm, R: 3kg/mm). but on the TEIN USA website, SuperStreet usdm mcpherson spring rates are F: 7kg/mm R: 5kg/mm. i'm not sure why there's a huge difference between the jdm and usdm mcpherson spring rates but maybe it's to make up for the missing upper mounts? since the UK mcpherson spring rates are the same as the JDM ones and also come with the upper mounts.
