hey there
got a set of Tien SS on my DC2R and they are not too bad

however i find that on the hardest settings, they are stiff abit soft....
the rebound on the rear is nice..levels out very very quickly, however the front are abit slow to level...

could it be that the shocks are not that good/not stiff enuf
or could it be that the spring rate is not hard enuf...from what i heard springs are:

Front:8K
Rear:4K

l'm thinking of getting rates at about

Front: 12K
Rear:8K

anybody with any suggestion would be great.

i have teins and there are more than fine for the street - i do notice that the rear is alittle "soft" - is the back low or DUMPED geoff ? ive found by raising the rear alittle more helps out.

i think its due to the rates being almost 2:1 ~ it acts like a see-saw with teh cars weight distribution + balance (IMO)
you can get thicker rated springs made up (from KMAC or whitelien etc) or sell and get something thicker
