Performance coilovers- Need some info
Well, there comes a time in every man's life when he has to get rid of his HKS coilovers. I really would like a set up that has higher spring rates, dampening adjustment and be able to get pretty low.
The Xb coilover thread has been somewhat helpful but the holes in the chart are annoying. Here are some things I'd like to know:
What are the spring rates and height adjustment for the JIC FLT-A2s?
How low can the JIC SF-1s go?
Spring rates and height adjustment for the Blitz Wagon?
Tanabe Sustec Pro GF...where can you even order these?
So far, I think the D2 would be a good choice because they are everything i want in a coilover. The only thing is, people have mixed opinions about them because they arent made in japan. I guess they disappoint JDM fanboys.
So if you can answer some of my questions or suggest a coilover that is more performance oriented with a good drop, let me know.

The Blitz ride awesome - on the sporty side. The spring rates are 3.8F and 3.2R IIRC. The rear socks are 8-way adjustable too. They ride pretty stiff, but still smooth and not bouncy. You kinda bounce around at low speeds on rough roads - like in the city, but once you get up around 35-40mph, everything smooths out. The only downside is that they don't go low enough for 16s. I never measured it, but I just barely tuck 205/50/16 tires. I'm estimating it's about 3".
Right now, I'm actually looking into HKS or Cusco...I need about 1/2 in more drop and a softer spring rate for riding around in the city....

Also, in those pic you've sent me, is that as low as you can go?
Sexy Beasts huh?
