installed a set on a euro recently...
not sure on spring rates.
they are comfortable even on lowest setting with 19 inch rims.
customer was not happy because they were not low enough even on lowest setting.
yeah this was what i suspected also...
spring rate is 8kg/mm on front and 4kg/mm rear
ride is comfortable yet stable
as for height .... did the customer take the helper springs out ? or was it just set at the lowest perch??
coz if u take the helper springs out i'm pretty sure u can go down another good inch or so
sure it is 8 and 4? i was under the impression it was more like 7 and 5.
S/S as it suggests is a good compromise. I don't think you will be unhappy with them on the street - but you might be on the track.
rates are varible to application - but the general consensus is "About" 7kg/mm front and 5kg/mm rear. 3x the "Rates" ( but that dosent mean stiffness) of stock...
comfortable and stable!better than factory sussy

How low do they go? On average how much lower than stock? At least 3" don't they? I though all coilovers were designed to be able to sit the car extremely low??
All this info can be found on the Tein websiteQuote:

And if you mean the Jap tein site, the aussie Super Street's are different, as Fulcrum suspension changes spring rates and damper rates in them

give them a call and they should be able to answer all your queries regarding Tein SS suspension as they are the Australian distributor.
