Slightly stiffer spring rates, lowering ability, less body roll, and they seem valved very well for the application.

There's some stutter bumps on the road near me that had my old BMW 135i and my stockBRZ skipping slightly in the turn, and the ST's keep my BRZ rear firmly planted and smoothly eat those bumps up.

Ride is similar to stock, not much stiffer at all, I have over 2000 miles on them and no noises or knocking.

I'm super happy with these coilovers.

Pictures please.

progressive or linear spring rates?

mike the snake · 10-14-2013, 10:49 AM

Whatever the kit comes with. Linear I believe, the rates are posted here in the thread somewhere I think.

Yeah I posted it earlier in the thread, but they will be linear springs, and let me post up the rates again

Spring Rate Front : 230lbs/in
Spring Rate Rear : 285lbs/in
Spring Rate Front Metric : 4.1Kg/mm
Spring Rate Rear Metric : 5Kg/mm

And drop specs are:

Drop Height Front : .8 - 2in
Drop Height Rear : .8 - 2in
Drop Height Front Metric : 20 - 50mm
Drop Height Rear Metric : 20 - 50mm

Thanks,
Rick

No Limit Motorsport advertised it as progressive spring rates. I guess that is wrong. Does this also apply to V1 and T0? Are they also linear?

My preference is to support local vendors. Anyone besides TireRack selling these things in OH/IN/PA? Don't see 'em on Stranoparts.

We sell them, just PM us

Yes, these will be slightly firmer and have more aggressive valving compared to the stock setup. You also have the added ability of height adjustment.

The picture they posted shows linear springs.

Bump! Just trying to see what the front end camber is looking like with these...

mike the snake · 11-27-2013, 07:25 AM

Mine has about -2 degrees in front if I remember correctly. The rears cambered out more to -2.5, car is lowered about 1.5"

so no one used these on their ST coils? all the V3 guys are stating they are using it, it seems.

What are opinions about these vs Tein Street Basis? The pricing seems to be pretty close, Tein has stiffer springs (according to data listed by Rally Sport Direct), and ST has a better warranty.

I am a newbie when it comes to tuning, well pretty much any aspect of a car, and suspension is no different. Coming from stock suspension, what would I notice as far as expected changes in handling characteristics from stock and between the two and is there a significant product quality difference between Tein and ST (aka KW)?

motorsports3 · 11-27-2013, 09:01 PM

So you are getting -2 degrees of camber with how much drop? I am on the edge with these and the BC, but might choose the BC because of the camber plates

BRZY · 12-01-2013, 08:12 PM

anyone with the ST get spanner wrenches with their kits or is it just me?
