which is why i would rather get the FLEX's so I don't have to worry about it re-seating. Another quick question, supposing I got the SS's, would it be recommendable to get a camber kit or might as well just get the optional pillow mounts? To be honest, I didn't even know that you can get the pillow mounts for the SS's... I guess you learn something new everyday

ive got the ss's
thumbs up from me. i used stock mounts, but you can get the pillowball mounts for them.
i didnt get a camber kit, and my alignment is still within spec. i lowered to teins specifications.

Ok, now I'm thinking towards the SS's becuase the FLEX's are a little more then I want it. I'm going to paint the car next week and build motor and a little tight on money as of right now. How much more are HA's as opposed to SS's? I went to tein.com and it said that the HA's are still in developement...
okay, I went on a friend's friend's website (http://www.jaydm.com) and they offer HA's. I noticed that the SS's spring rates are 8 and 4, while the HA's are 10 and 7 if I'm not mistaken and now I'm leaning towards the HA's now. hehe I'm so indecisive! I just want the right suspension on my ride, tha's all... I want the HA's because of the stiffer spring rates. Brian, did'nt you say you had the HA's, how's the ride?

wtf???? are you serious?? weird, i'll have to take some pics to show you. i swear mine are like almost rock bottom and i have maybe 1-1.5 finger width from tire to fender.
EDIT:
i'm on 15's as well
EDIT pt2:
which HA's do you have? mine are for an integra type r... maybe thats why?
My FLEX are 9kg/mm front (504lb/in) and 6kg/mm rear (336lb/in). I'll let you know how they feel when I finally drive the car- hopefully next week.

your car will be done next week? sweet! I want to see it drive. Gimme a call or something once it's done, we'll go have that drink now that I'm legal
I just bought some Tein SS for mine and I'll get them next week... I can't wait
Badass. It's good to hear from you again Oliver. Give me a call ASAP, because I lost your damn number when my other phone went up in smoke a while back.
well got back from my weekend in Reno at the new Reno/Fernly track. Let me say, damn it was hot! i think they said it got up to 103 out there, in the middle of the desert I had a lot of fun driving the del sol on the course. I wish my ITR rear sway bar would have arrived earlier, i could tell it would have helped. The HA's held their own very well, little better than the SS's but pretty similar. I had the front set at 2nd from stiffest, and the rear at 3rd from stiffest. I did have a slight rubbing problem on the rear tires, but i need to roll my fenders, or could be the offset on my chepo 15's i'm on. but i did have some rubbing. overall i'm very pleased with the HA's, but the daily driving on them is a little more uncomfortable on the streets than the SS's and ride almost the same on the track. my real problem that day was almost over heating, and power. damn that car felt slow it was afterall 4500ft above sea level, but i need to build this thing up. i did get some incar footage on the track, and my buddy did some also, following me. i'll post them up once i get a chance to capture it off his camcorder.

Please post the video as soon as you can, I know everybody would like to see it! I will find out by this week about the suspension. My friend is kinda lagging on the prices, but it's all good. I might end up getting the SS's depending on how much I can get the HA's for, I'll keep you guys updated...
