Not sure if I missed it on this thread or I’m just blind, anyone running K tuned lowering springs on OEM rims and tires? If so any rubbing or scrubbing? I wanna drop a little amount nothing crazy and don’t wanna roll fenders or anything like that. Thank you in advance

I don't have ktuned but you'll be ok, it's only an inch drop. I run d2 (1.9 inch drop) along w 25mm/20mm spacers and still no rubbing

Tein Flex Z Coilovers that I installed myself. Installed the coils based on Teins recommendations on their manual along with SPC rear camber arms.

See post #86 in this thread. I'm running K-Tuned springs on OEM wheels and tires. No rubbing, scrubbing or anything. No camber kit needed either - front camber w/in spec and rear camber is only 0.2° past the -2.0° limit. The drop is about 1.2" all around.

About 4k miles now and no issues!

Hey everyone,
Currently on Eibach Sportlines. They’re great so far but had an alignment done recently and the shop brought this to my attention. Is it normal for the coils in the rear to be stacked so tightly? Should I contact Eibach? The rear does feel harsher on impact than the front...

How's the ride quality on these coils? The 6k spring rates don't seem too stiff. These look like a very solid option that's not too expensive especially with ADS cancellers.

I am directly comparing them to Eibach Pro Kits which I was on prior to installing these Teins. There was a drastic improvement in ride quality from the Eibachs to the Teins; It feels very much like stock even after the springs settled. In regards to stiffness, I adjusted them towards the softer side; I’m 5 clicks from soft on the front and 6 clicks from soft on the rear. I regret not going to coils from the get go. I feel like I wasted money on the Pro Kits to be honest...oh well, I’m happy now with my current set up.

Im still confused about Skunk2 lowering springs. Do they fit SI's or not, I see people using them on SI's but I was just in contact with a shop that says they will not fit. I see that the website doesn't explicitly say it will fit but I am pretty confident they will. Can anyone vouch fitment I would really appreciate it.

Edit: Also what are your guys opinions on the best performance springs? Swift?

 

[letsgoMINAJE]

When it comes to spring rates and stuff, I am lost. What would be the lowering springs or coilovers that would provide the best ride in terms of comfort for daily driving?
