How much do their Ti springs cost? Are they much more expensive?

Here's another of mine on RS*R Superdowns a few days after installation.

Do you have spacers on? If so, what brand and size?

Yes (technically adapters (they have lugs built in), they're from b2autodesigns (a board vendor). Specs are in this post http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...92&postcount=7

I found this through Google. It's lowered on RS*R Super Down Springs

Ti2000 cost 30728 yan ~310 USD

Non Ti cost 16800 yan


Dont get Ti2000 one. The Ti material is too strong to fatigue so you have no chance to upgrade to coilovers. BTW, Ti is life time warranty. Its lighter and stronger than regular one.

Ti2000は、2002年９月１日より「ヘタリ永久保証制度」を導入しました。 ご使用期間内に、経年劣化等により当初に比べて著しく車高が下がるなどの「へたり」が生じた場合には、新品 商品とお取替えいたします。 (They will replace new springs if they fatigue. )

Mach V's are a great option.

Put mine on and haven't looked back. Love them. 15k miles later and no problems, wouldn't change a thing.

Good! Better resale value for these if you ever decide to swap them out. 25% lighter than the standard version. $310 MSRP is not bad at all. How'd you get the pricing? Where is it listed?

i put the rs*r super downs on my car and although i would still like it a little stiffer in the front, the slightly lower drop in the rear vs the front, did wonders for putting power down out of a corner. i was pleasantly surprised about that unforeseen benefit.

The rear on mine stays planted too on corner exit. And its gotten even better all around as the springs have settled. Springs should continue breaking in for 30 days or so. I'd say I'm very happy so far.

Pics!

have you had any bottoming out issues? my j2 hangs low where it goes around the rear diff, and at speed a nast bump on the highway will just catch it. this is a common problem with exhast alot of lowerd cars from my experience. small price to pay in my opinon
EDIT: just saw your "pics!" comment. ill get some up today, i have been too lazy to take any yet, i just have one crappy night shot of when i installed them.

It rides a tad over an inch lower, so I have to drive it that way. Just a little more careful. I did mess up once on that scary dip in the road in the MacArthur exit on the 405 south just (John Wayne Airport (Orange County)). I bottomed out on that going about 45 (forgot that it was there). Other than that, I'm about 1.5 weeks in to my install, and so far it's been a total pleasure to drive. I'm aware that the springs will a smidge more. So far absolutely no-regrets whatsoever.

yep, i am definately happy with these springs.
