Well, few weeks ago I did lower my VR4. Galant got Spax lowering springs (F -40mm, R -25mm) and new shock absorbers: F short Bilsten B8, R hardened KYB UltraSR.
And issue appear after that. Seems that springs are too soft (maybe designed for Galant n/a). Rear is rubbing tyres on every road bump when car is loaded in boot, and front sometimes can rub tyres whilst cornering an hitting road pothole.
Well, handling is awsome.../rally
So... shame to throw away new uprated shock absorbers. I guess that uprated set of springs may be solution. Lowering just -20mm would be the best option with harder springs.
Hence my questions:
1. How hard are Tein S Tech springs? Can't figure out their specification, F 4.9 kg/mm and R 3.3kg/mm seems ultra soft...
2. Other option - custom made springs and... what size I should refer? Rear spring has wider top than base. Universal sets are the same from base to top. Will it fit? So, what dimensions should I look for? Diameter, lengh, etc.
Help much appreciated.
