tien super street should be quite stiff already for the absorber...
hmmm....
 
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 ... ^%$^*((^$$*&()*^$$
 
You want "hard" type...go for CUSCO! It is so hard till women boobs will bounce up n down non stop....
 
my ride height is between two finger, and not so low. :banghead:

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?
 
hitting 130kmh at bumpy road, back tyre alway rubbing
with fender. back and fronth at 16 click(hardest setting)
 
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

changing whole suspension or the spring only:confused:
 
Up to you. If you got more budget get a new suspension instead. I think spring alone also hard to get back there and ain`t no cheap too
 
It's hard to say which suspension is good or bad, as it's all boiled back to personal taste. I used Beilsten, Tommy Kaira, Cusco, and Nismo before but till now I still felt all of them are hard to use as day to day driving. Others might said Nismo is great as it is not too hard or soft...
