    Depending on the timing, I could be interested in a group buy if we could get the spring rates perfect.

    I really want these sooner rather than later but a group buy would be good.
    The price i got from redline http://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/?action=contact was

    $1225 Base cost
    $1500 shipped with a 6-8 week delay
    $1725 air with up to 2 week delay

    If I have time (or someone else does) this arvo to ring them up again and ask for the model number they are suppling and whether we can customize spring rate (as i forgot to this morning) it would help us out. If we can customise the spring rates then we should be all good I reckon.

    Also, hyper drive sells them on trademe for $1,395.00, but not sure if that takes into account shipping etc and it appear they don't know what a spring rate is lol.

    Four weeks at a cost of $325. I guess that's not too bad.

    A spring rate of 16 is going to be far too stiff unless you are racing.

    I wouldn't want more than 12 for the street personally, though Nutter John is happy enough with 14.

    Ideally i would like 14, but all depends if the spring rate is customizable. Either that or have to fork out for another set of TEINS or somthing. Then TEINS seem to have soft springs though.

    [EDIT] Looks like from Hyper that want $1800 with air freight but with sea freight waiting times. Seems strange. I think redline is the place to source them from. It says on the aussie site you can customise spring rates, so you would think it possible here, expecially seeing as they have to be ordered.

    Can anyone convert these spring rates on the BC site to kg?


    Front 180.62.014
    Rear 180.62.006

    I assume the 014 and 006 are 14kg and 6kg respectively. If so 6kg surely would be to soft of a legnum?

    well the Tein's are 8kg front and 5kg rear in their top package. So that combo would appear to be too hard at the front if anything.

    14kg fronts sounds ideal but I'm unsure about the 6kg rear on a legnum. The problem being the BCs are for the galant.

    Who thinks 6kg rears is too soft?

    6kg is fine, but won't be a good match for the 14kg fronts

    Yeah was thinking that. 8kg rear seems to be the minimum. Might have to suss a supplier willing to customise the rates. Anyone got an hookups?

    hmmm looks like i am just going to get the D2's and try them out, if they are way too hard ill look at custom springs or put the teins back.
