You are probably have set the ride height too low. Yes they are soft spec (street use) but you can adjust them slightly stiffer. No point in changing the springs as the dampers has been build accordingly to the sprint rates.

It's easier to go from a hard suspension set-up with a softer spring than the other way around.




Speaking of hard suspensions: Ohlins ... ^%$^*((^$$*&()*^$$

Two fingers on 18" is probably a good height in term of handling and looks. Any lower you'll be looking for lower arm adjusters, camber arms and steering tie-rods ends to correct for arms, camber and steering geometry.

What setting are you using for Font & Back? 2 fingers should be alright, if your shocks is bottoming out then something must be wrong with it. Is it rubbing the fender on straight bumpy stretch or when turning only?

You've got 16 adjustable levels use them... the car is pretty heavy so it will bob a bit (that’s how i damaged my bumper the first time and it was only a small dip in the road. Make sure yr shocks are not leaking too.

If its super comfortable then its too soft :-)

TEIN super street F:5k R:4k for ER34 is soft for heavy chassis.I recommend you use more stiffer rate sus ranging F: 8K R: 7K for btr winding feel. If rate F:12k R:10k is more into aggresive driving and you will head banging like taking marijuana~heee

Hi

I am from UK but I live in Thailand but I will be in KL next week, I have one free day on Tuesday. My hotel is near KL Sentral station.

I have been to KL before and seen the normal stuff for tourist, but I am a petrol head, is there anything interesting to see in central KL, maybe buy some accessories for my car (but not big because I will fly back to Thailand) or any place to look at cool modified cars on the KL scene?

I drive a Lancer so the Malaysian scene is interesting for...
