    Even with my spring rates my Konis make the ride perfect.

      So I have 300F:475R, we tie for the wimpiest rates around.
      Okay, our cars are WAY TOO SIMILIAR. Even the damn rates...Christ! And you say it's stiff? Yikes, imagine these guys.

          It's not that stiff now. All that extra sidewall cushions nicely........ :P

          When I had the 16" on it was pretty bad with the fucked up roads around here. Hopefully 15" should be a good compromise.

            Soon

            Konis front
            Spax rear

            350/450

            Both shocks are adjustable so these rates are trial rates

                Aaron, I found out the problem. I'm not crazy, nor a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles: my ride was horrible and harsh. The reason was in your other quote:
                Even with my spring rates my Konis make the ride perfect.
                My rear Konis weren't doing anything! :D The ride was so low the Konis weren't playing their role. Now that the rear end is taken up......WOW, the ride is nice. I'm no longer shaken up after going over small imperfections in the road!

                      You're not helping the situation.

                          I'm used to it man. Every mod I do costs me 20-30% more than you guys. It sucks.

                            Because of exchange rates? At least your shipping doesn't cost an arm, a leg, your first child, your house, and the spare change in your pocket.

                              No, I'm not even including exchange and our sad salaries compared to Americans. That's just shipping and duty. I paid an extra $35US in duty for a $109 Sparco bar. :evil:
