coilover springs

[hotT0Male]

i have tein ss coilovers on my car. im happy with them for the most part but the ride is just a tad too stiff for south san diego's crappy streets. i was wondering if it was possible to change out the springs on them for different ones? thanks

still rough with all the shocks set to the softest setting?

its more that just a touch softer would put the ride quality right where i want it to be

most coilover springs are 2.5" Inner Diameter, so yes, you could switch out the springs for softer ones if you wanted.

would going from a 504lb to 400lb spring rate be drastic enough to require revalving of the adjustable shocks?

I would suggest looking into progressive springs for the rear suspension if you want better ride quality while still retaining superb handling.
QA1 makes them in different length and spring-rate.

I swapped the rear springs on my JIC FLT-A2 with a progressive rate one and the ride comfort improves dramatically.
