Try Super Lows...etc...If you call king up im pretty sure you would be able to arrange a custom spring rate for relatively cheap.

If you want a somewhat firm/stiff ride....i would probebly go with 8kg/mm up front and 6kg/mm rear...depending on how firm you can tollerate lol.

Contact Yonas(JDM Yard)/Leo(JDM Concept) and ask a price for spoon springs...im pretty sure they would sit lower you would have to double check.

Either that or try and get a hold of some Ground Control coilover sleeves from the states.

Ty.

Spoon springs are fairly low on my car (tyres at wheel arch level) however I think my shocks (KYB AGX) have had a little something to do with the lowering (lower than OEM Spring Seat). You can get spoon springs in a range of flavours...anything from 8kg/mm to 26kg/mm in 2kg/mm increments.

When you say as stiff as possible, when is your point of discomfort? Don't forget if your not buying new shocks...then it would be wise to keep the spring rate as low as possible...the higher the spring rate the quicker it will wear your shocks...particularly if it's low.

Get TEIN SS Coilovers so you can change the hight or dumper but the sleeve are bad in most cases..

I've had king springs a few times and they always end up sagging

Mine

makes live very easy for strip day them back to low how I like it

Good Option. However he did state he wanted as stiff as possible...to my knowledge the Tein SS's don't have a spring rate much higher than OEM ITR springs?

Not sure just how hard they are but they get quite hard at full damper setting

But you don't have to go TEIN coilovers, you can go some other brand that makes hard spring rates and still lets you change them

$600 won't probebly get you much even second hand...best bet would be saving or a set of nice springs.
GL with the search, don't forget to enquire with either Leo/Yonas.
