[QUOTE="green, post: 3632497, member: 11722"] I am also using a set of tein superstreet and they are very comfortable to me. Whats your spring rate in front and the rear, and whats the setting you put for the dampers? mine: front spring = 8kg/mm damper setting at 6(hard) rear spring = 6kg/mm damper setting at 8(in the middle) they are fine and very comfortable. you can feel that the teins have good road holding capability n none bone jarring even when going over lousy roads(the car doesnt rattle and have a clean controlled rebound). However I do also have a set of used yellow trd shocks(adjustable 5 steps) and the sportivo white springs(frt n rear about 5.2kg/mm each)...took out last week. These are comfy but a bit too low for me. Springs are low down springs from original about 20mm. Comfy springs compared to the originals(too soft!) Yellow shocks are adjustable. These shocks are very long lasting but if set too hard, CAN be bone jarring. Few choices you can consider: 1. get the blue sportivos coilover set white springs..like mine) + blue shocks brand new. I had these before but I find them too soft..they may be good for you. 2. go back for the original shocks n springs 3. original shocks + harder springs(like the white sportivo--oem fit) or tein springs s tech. Dunt worry about too low becoz you can add spacers to make your ride height higher. 4. or you can consider my 2nd hand set as well. Price I dunno yet. good luck [/QUOTE]
