They also make a beautiful light wieght exhaust for the FD and at wholesale prices should move faster then you can order them! I almost bought one but got a killer deal on Border Racing (silencer & cat').

OK, please let me know on :

spring rates

Racing Spec A ECU

Datalogic Software (English user version)

End Date
Spring rate can't be changed. They don't feel comfortable offering them in different springs rates.



Racing Spec A ECU is $315. They have 2 versions of the software. One is for the end user and one is for shop. Only the one for shop has the English version. I am still trying to pursuade them to sell the shop version because that's the only one US users can understand and use. The software for shop version will be $160.



I am trying to gather all the orders right now and then send them the order in about 2 weeks. So the deadline for those special prices will end on July 7th.

Well the ECU isn't any good unless the software is in english unless you can load the Japanese software on US Windows and I have Ziel Motorsports to tune it.



What's up with not changing the spring rates? I thought the reares were supposed to be softer? How much lighter is a FC then FD? ...if it's the same wieght, why can't I get the same spring rates? Aske them again please. It will raise the cost if I have to replace the srprings. Thell them I said: Mooshi Mooshi

If you want the FD one, I can ship the one I have in stock and ship you the pillow ball mount later. I am doing this so I can place a big order with and they have to come from Japan after my order is placed. None of the parts are in the US.

They design the coilover to use 10 kg/mm springs. I think there must be a reason for them to choose those spring rates. Maybe they just don't want to let people choose different spring rates that will upset the balance of the damper and then people start to talk about their suspension not working. If you insist, I will ask them but I can't guarantee they will comply. I will give my best try.



I will also ask them since it's for the American market, an English software for the Spec A computer is necessary. The shop version is a lot more powerful than a user version and if you tune it wrong, you can blow your engine. This is one of the reasons they don't really want to release the shop software to retail customers.

You could always buy the springs you want from Eibach. They sell many different diameter and height springs to fit almost anything. Most coilovers use pretty standard dimension springs.



If dampers sold for 10K springs can't be adjusted enough to run at least the 8K springs it would be very surprising.
