Stiffer spring in front how is performance?
I currently have the tein cs coilovers and the front keeps on bottoming out when i hit a small pot hole. I bought front springs from a member on here that is suppose to fit into the tein cs. Tein cs rating is 392 lb and the new front spring rating is 502lb. Since i am only switching out the two fronts, how will this effect the performance of the car. I have the electronic damping as well which i can adjust a little but i can't find how much it will adjust it to(range). Most coil overs i see they are either equal front and rears or the rear is stiffer. But in this case my fronts are going to be stiffer so they wont bottom out...Any opinion or any ideas on how this will change my performance?

i wouldnt. the point of going cs is cause you want a soft comfy ride. you might be better off sellign these and goign with another coilover.

TEIN'S Repsonse:
All TEIN coilovers can accept a range of spring rates, recommended at no more than plus or minus 2kg from factory spec without having the dampers re-valved. Outside of this range, re-valving is recommended for proper performance. As such, the 9kg springs would be able to be utilized the provide more aggressive suspension performance without modification to the dampers. The noted part number utilizes 25mm shorter springs than that which was included with your kit, which would be beneficial in offsetting the increase in spring rate to maintain a similar height adjustment range. Even though kinda of still debating...since tein cs are not that great i heard...
