[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064631517, member: 2429"] Agree! And finally LWW comes out to play! Where you've been man? Speaking of springs that come with coilovers, for some reason AR Racing/BC Racing both give 5k front and 5k rear springs for the Sylphy. But to be fair the coilovers were meant for the Nissan Tilda aka Latio. So perhaps the 5k + 5k combi is meant for the lighter Nissan. I'm currently on coilovers and I opted to forgo the ridiculous 5k+5k combi and go for 8k front 6k rear on my heavy Sylphy. The springs are preloaded just right to be neutral when compressed (I don't know how to explain this better, I know that wasn't the right terminology) and right now the rear is perfect with just 9 clicks of the damper (max 30) for comfort. It's in fact comparable with stock. The front however, it's a little more of a problem. 8k with the current pre-load is making it very fast to respond so whenever I go over speed bumps (slowly) I can feel the front reacting much faster than the rear, so much so if I were go to a tad bit faster the front would give me a bone jarring thud. Front dampers set to 10 clicks btw. Any softer than 9/10 clicks then you'll get rebound from the spring when going over speed bumps and undulations which is seriously irritating. I suspect the springs are too hard for the car (I'm not looking to go racing with them) so I'm going to first play with the pre-load again, compress the springs a little more and see how that goes. That was my installers suggestion anyway. Personally I think increasing the pre-load will make it even more jarring but my installer is insisting to try first. So I will. Before lastly resorting to changing to 6k springs. Speaking of which - why aren't there any 7k springs ah? [/QUOTE]

Sorry Tom,
This is not in the right place but I feel that only the skyline owners would be more interested.
