:o Well I got my lazy arse up to do some tweaking but I never made it down to the store to buy myself a Wrench/Socket kit so I could work on the rear Seats and stuff to access the shelf and rear strut section. Anyways, I felt that after driving n feeling the coilovers, I thought it wasn't doing the job quite well enough as I was bouncing little to harshly. Also noticed that on braking at times, the car would want to lean left. Well, I found my hex wrenches n found the correct size to tweak the front Tein SS. I read the Instructions carefully from TEIN's website on my coilover part. I noticed that the clicking was pretty sensative so I was careful to keep count on the clicks. The certified TEIN installer SCREWED ME! :roll: My passenger side was set at 6 clicks from Hardest. The Driver side was set at 7! Yea 7. Uneven setting caused the tilt n made the car go left during stops. Well I reset the Tein's back to HARD and set it to 3 clicks down from Hard on both sides and went for a stroll around the area. Ummmm... whooaaa... the bouncing was gone, the stiffness was in. The stopping issue was gone and I was rolling through some turns like melted butter. :lol: The rear settings seemed fine from what the installer did so i'm pleased that the front was the only concern. I think my body is in shock after feeling the stiffness and how comfy I was just driving around cause I'm feeling lightheaded. :o

LOL. Coilovers are all in one solution. The strut/spring are combined together into a special tubing setup where the main point of what coilovers do best but thats just put into simple terms. Controlling the spring rate of rebound and so forth. Then of course, desire of specified ride height.

Please do your research better :P

Struts and springs are seperate and go together. Depending on manufacturer and spring drop. It varies a lot on how stiff or bouncey the spring and strut combo can manage. Coilovers will never be beaten by performance strut/spring combos.
