Has there been any springs specifically developed for AP2's stiffer front than rear balance? I've been thinking about springs but looking over the specs most seem like they were developed for the AP1. Of all the springs listed, only Neuspeed and the Eibach/GC seem to have stiffer front rates.

Anyone know of any others out there?

What do you guys suggest between the tein s specs and Eibachs? They both have the same drop but how do they compare in terms of ride quality, spring rates, etc?

I've read throguh most posts and it's great inforamtion. I think I'm leaning towards the Eiback pro kit springs. My main question is...how difficult is it to install a set of springs? I would like to do this myself.

[QUOTE=kjalleda,Aug 11 2008, 07:33 PM]In the June Issue of Sport Compact Car, they did some nice testing of the Stock and some Tuner S2000's, and published some neat Shock Dynos, as well as stock AP1, AP2, and CR spring rates ( see below )

IMO Espelir's are great springs. Not too low and not too much like stock. Ride is like stock with a bit higher spring rate. I had them on stock shocks at first but a couple months later went with Koni yellow shocks paired with the Espelir's. But like a lot of people who lower their car with springs eventually you want to go lower with some sort of dampening control.

Here's a pic with my Espelir's.


Now I am on Ground control with the Koni's. I LOVE the adjust-ability and having the dampening control on the Koni's is an added bonus.

Here is what I am currently on.
