Ride height, damping force kg/mm, spring rates kg/mm. etc etc.
i'll post these up shortly...

as they are adjustable height and rate you can tune to whatever you like...

i'm pretty sure they start at OEM rates then go up...

Seems like from the comparison of the two models for the cars that are available, super streets have a lower spring rate than the HA springs.

I guess they are designed for the street hence the name, so the spring rates won't be as firm as the HA. They do appear to come with pillarball mounts on the front.

just wondering,

do the spring rates change on other HA's?
ie a HA Soarer has same spring rate as HA FTO...

er wouldn't have a clue... but one would imagine that as the Soarer is a vastly heavier car that the spring's would be a heavier spring... the rates may end up the same due to the weight difference in the car... but that would be coincidental...

tein's 1mm at a time adjustments is what really appeals to me... in the new year i'll be speaking to the international Sales Director at Tein Japan to see if he can put the hard word on his supplier again...

The story behind it is that these are exclusively made for Tein UK, however the international Sales Director agreed in a phone call to supply them to the AUS market... i suspect the importer here is making nothing (or no where near his normal 150% markup on tein stuff) and that is why he is dragging his feet.

There is an agent in Japan i use from time to time for goodies and will see if i can negotiate that he be my suppler... its all full of politics sorry guys
