    cup kit shock and coilover springs

    i want to move into super stiff area (ie, i hate my cup kit cause its still to soft and i'm rubbing), leaning towards smaller sways and stronger springs to control body roll...

    I'm thinking of somewhere along the lines of 800lb rear/600lb front springs (i think 150% ratio was like 800/533 or something like that), however, how long would the cup kit shocks last if i decided to use those shocks with these springs? would it even be wise to try it?

      I'd like to know as well. The dampers from my cupkit seem pretty toughly built, and they're quite noticeably stiffer than the soft springs. I figured they might fare well in that situation (or just fair with that high a spring rate) but I'd like to know. This would make GCs just $400 away.

        exactly.

        hmm. I don't remember if the cupkit came with any sort of warranty, does it?... i may just go get GC adjusters and springs and try it....see how long theyll last (if its warrantied). otherwise ill probably ride on stock shocks till i can sell the cupkit and buy some konis.
