Default Tein Springs...and some information about the KSport Coilove

After looking at Tein's website, it looks like the biggest drop you'll get with them is 1.7F/2.2R, not the drastic 2.0F/2.9R like some said.

Oh, and about the KSports, the website originally said 5.2kg F/2.2kg R, so I emailed KSportUSA and they said the website was wrong and the spring rates are actually 7.5kg F/4.5kg R. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

The higher the spring rate, the stiffer/harsher your ride will feel when driving.

While this is true, it won't be as noticeable if the company/person who valved your dampers valved them properly.
