Yes, the 7-8 combo is for ultra low ride height applications or for recommended 35mm drop with race/competition tires, for serious competitions.

The 5-7 combo is ideal for complaint ride (which I remind you is AWESOME for the street and mild track use with comfort better than stock due to expensive valving and afforded long stroke design). And is designed for street radials and spirited Sunday racing.

Yes, you might save a few bucks since it will become a referral. Also getitng together with 3-4 buddies will also save you some as well since they can ship them to LA as a batch order. Might take a little longer but if you want to save, that might be a plan too. Call Ben though at RSR USA, as I can't quote anything as prices will always change slightly according to exchange rates of currency and shipping variables from Japan.

They feel super nice. Mine didn't come with any rubber gaskets for the springs like Moto's have. He said he pulled those from another older set of coils and used them. I'm trying to see if RS*R can send me some as I'm getting some harmonic noise under acceleration from 3k-4k RPMs when the car is shifting more of the weight to the rear. My best guess is that something to cushion that spring to metal contact should stop that noise, or I could dial the pre-load down a MM or two. I did some homework and it could be a valving thing as well. I'm currently driving with the coils set to 3 clicks up from softest, but I'm gonna try to adjust again and see what impact that has.

When you say you didn't get any "rubber gaskets for the springs", do you mean at the top of the spring or the base? Mine look exactly like Moto's with rubber at the base of the spring on the fronts but not the rears. Is this what you meant?
Cheers.

Yeah mine didnt have the rubber at the top and bottom. i reached out to RS*R, but havent heard back yet.

Did you get camber plates? Wondering if that's the difference.

sirus · 07-06-2012, 11:54 AM

No I didn't get camber plates...

Did you get your vibration issue sorted out and if so, how?

Talked to RSR about it. It's an expected thing while the pillow balls break in.

Best place to buy? Direct from rs*r?

Yeah. Email info AT rs-r.com and tell them what you're looking for. Mention your driving goals as well, and your typical driving style, and they'll help match you to a set that makes the most sense for what you want.

Once I paid them I had coils, from Japan, to my desk at work within 7 days.
