    pretty sure the dampers have been valved accordingly, as they're available off the shelf from toda.

    I can assure you, as I have been in his car with these coilovers that this is 100% not the case. It is VERY streetable on the low damper settings.

    You are absolutely correct. They have been valved for the chosen spring rates, and this is a major contributor to how nice they feel.

    I also thought that they would be rock hard over bumps on the street, but once I went for a drive I was amazed at how well it absorbed the road on low damper settings,

    If they're valved accordingly, fair enough guys.

    lol, toda isnt dumb for making 18kg front and 16kg rear for the n1 damper standard off the shelf.

    ive driven on these for 3 days now and i actually feel i could have gone 20kg and 18kg without problem, a quality damper like this absorbs road vibrations and bump and rebound is perfect...they actually feel soft over bumps on lowest setting so i will turn it up on track and take vids of the wheels to see how they react to bumps etc.

    I've had the toda n1 18/16 before and believe me, by far one of the best.

    Wasn't too bad with comfortability but damn did these coilovers handle well.

    Car felt much more stable at high speeds. Was amazed how well the coilovers made the car more planted to the road surface.

    IMO it's not so much the spring rates that makes the ride harsh but more so the damper setting.

    Eg. buddy club race spec with stiffest damper is at least double the harshness over the toda on softest setting.

    stiff springs paired to quality shocks is a dream to drive....
