He has contacted me and I understand his concerns and tried to work with him on it. I do listen to these things and take them seriously. Any potential solution gets complicated with downtime on the car and that sort of thing but I'm still willing to work with him.

The standard valving on the OEM Bilsteins IS a little soft....it's an awesome damper but from the factory there seems to be a little bit of variability. Some seem even a little softer than usual. Revalving them makes a HUGE difference. It's a massive change that's pretty cheap but can be inconvenient. The GSR dampers are not as advanced but have plenty of damping.

Most have had great results with our GTWORX springs on the Bilsteins (Kevin @ SSP loves his) and trick3d is the only person that has had feedback like that. Lowering springs on stock struts is always compromise and we try to find the best mix of handling and ride comfort for a relatively inexpensive option short of coilovers.

^^^ this, best ride in my Evo yet. Turned it from ill mannered to a streetable/ trackable ride.

 

swift, only from my experience. cant speak about others

 

i never tried lowering springs, but i saw a lot of good reviews about swift and gtworx.
also my friend put swift spec-r on his ms3 2nd gen, he really happy with it.

 

Looks like i am going to go with gt works or swift spec-r, but would like to know more on both of them. i dot a great quote on teins, very stuck in the middle of a triangle here.

 

My top 2

GTWORX Tarmac ............ 5.5 kg ................ 5.5 kg ............. 1.2" / 1.0" ................. $299
Progress ........................ 4.6 kg ............... 4.1 kg .............. 1.2" / 0.8" ................. $190

Swift Spec R maybe 3rd...expensive.

 

Add Muellerized to your short list.

 

Muellerized and Works if you can get them with minimal drop.Swift Spec R is 5.3 kg so 2nd stiffest spring.

 

Progress springs are a great spring for the price.

 

what i found out so far, some price may very on availability i started on 12/24/11
1830 west asia time. let me know if any one could find a better deal, hope this helps any one thats looking for springs like i am.

FYI: Tein + Ebay = fake. Tein uncovered fake springs a few years ago. Doesn't make Tein any better, but getting fakes of crap...yeah, that's worse.

Support your vendors here. GTWorx, MAP, etc have springs and support product development on your car.

 

Thank you for the heads up, wow how ****-y to fool people on buying fake crap. is their any way to spot fakes for tein?

 

LOOKS LIKE I FOUND MY SPRINGS!

Sport Springs SPEC-R

Now to find a vendor, any vendor pm for zip 92083.

 

I have the spec r's are they're great springs, perfect for a daily driven car.

 

i have swift spec-r springs as well and i love them. perfect ride height and handling. keep in mind you'll wanna get the whiteline RCA kit with whatever spring you get. i cant speak on gtworx but ppl who have them seem to like them. please stay away from tein, as previously stated the drop is too severe and will wear out your struts.
