You guys do know that M2 is out of buisness...



or if they arent good luck getting ahold of them



i have the GC setup, love it with my konis

Yeah, a bottom-of-the-line set of Teins isn't that much more. And with the stock struts, lowering will blow them out relatively quickly. I have H&R's (which are GREAT springs) and about 2 years later my great condition Touring struts are needing to be replaced.

Ive ridden in a car with tiens, i wasnt impressed at all. The car was stiff and seemed like it bounced more then it gripped.



My car rides SMOOTH for a car that its 2 inches off the ground. It is tight in the corners but not so much that it just gets bouncy. Mabye tein ships their c/o's with too strong of springs..

i doubt the teins have higher spring rates than what i run Bobby... and mine still doens't bounce me that bad thru the curves. I am planning to go to a strong shock in the future though. My Konis are undervalved for 800/600 spring rates.

i'm running the JIC FLT-A2s and I love them, personally i would never do aftermarket springs without a shock to match them, and if you try and do springs with some other shock that isn't correctly valved for it.. you can run into some problems.



A full coilover kit is usually your best bet or a already put together spring/shock combo.



The JICs are very responsive and stiff and with my aggressive alignment and some dialing in, i have the car handling where i want. I'm only running about 3 clicks hard in the front and 4 clicks hard in the back out of a possible 16. These things are stiff and responsive, but at the levels i run, they aren't kidney busters.

This sort of relates to my small question: What's the "Softest" way to lower your car? From experience, what gives you the smoothest ride?



Right now my FD is on stock springs with Koni Adjustable shocks. I believe it's on a hard setting, so I am going to adjust it soon.



When I lower the car and if I keep the Koni's, I was hoping to have a smoother, less rigid (kidney bustin) ride for the street, and then reach in and make the Koni's stiffer for the road course's & autox's I'll be attending.



Should I just get some H&R lowering springs and be set? Will 18's make a huge difference than going 17's as far as having a thinner sidewall when all is said and done?

Wow, what's with the Flame Job?! Anyway I have the M2 Suspension and it works fine with my stock R1 shocks, it's 550/450. It's always good to look at other options as well.

what flame job?

Perhaps your beginning banter with NoPenis93? Oh well..

M2's out of business and their site doesn't let you order parts anymore.
