Default Anyone change the spring rate on the SS-Ps??

after driving on them for a few days the rear just seems too harsh. I was thinking of swapping in a 6G spring instead of the 10G that tein sends. I was thinking of leaving the fronts the same which is a 7G spring.

Has anyone changed them?? What did you change them too and what were the results???

Thanks!!

my suggestion to you is to call tien and ask for suggestions there tech is good. when i had tiens on my corolla they said it was ok to go 1 or 2 kg softer but no more without revalveing the shocks. also you should not just change the back or front without changeing the other as it will throw the balance of the car. CALL TIEN!!

I've been thinking about the samething too. I got Basics and the rear is harsh, so I was thinking about chaging the front to 6kg and the rear to 8kg. Ive talked to Tein about it and they say it's ok if you change +/- 2 kg w/out revalving the shocks and they said that it would cost 100 bucks per damper.
