Custom Spring Rates Available (3.5, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 22 kg/mm)


I don't think many dampeners can support those spring rates...actually who the hell would want rates that freaking high ? I think we should probably stay away from these.

Race cars.
Both JIC and Tein's Dampers can handle up to 20 kg/mm springs.
As for these... who knows. They seem too cheap.

Ok let me restate, since I now realize that 20kg/mm = 1118 ft/lbs. A dampener this inexpensive couldn't possibly be strong enough to effectively use 20kg/mm springs.

I never heard of them, so I cannot say what the quality is. But I would proceed with caution.

No, I doubt it. And if I was running anything above about 14K on the JIC or Tein shocks, I'd still be re-valving them. But you can buy straight rate racing springs that'll fit no matter what. Most if not all are dimensionally the same. So all they're really saying is you can use them. If you're stupid enough to go that high on shocks that cheap, you don't know what you're doing anyways and they'll love you because you're a sucker.

I dont think any one would want to run 600+ LB/IN springs in the street (Unless they want their fillings to rattle out of their head), I cant imagine any one running 1000 LB/in on the street (a friend of mine had a CSP preped CRX that had 1000 LB/in springs, he said it was Virtually un-Drivable on the street).

also Ive been told that Street tires (Non-R compounds) don't take to kindly to High spring rates for some reason

For the features, even the retail price is shamefully low.

What's up with all these cheap full coilovers coming out now a days? I understand Hayame's position and their retail matches it's competition. But as they always say, "This is ridiculous."

Oh... they're not height adjustable? Even more interesting.

Pillowballs are spherical metal bearings in the upper mount so you can steer. It makes the entire upper mount metal, so its rougher but its much more direct. But if they're not made PERFECTLY, they're going to cause problems.

Your thinking of Camber plates.

Camber plates can have Spherical bearings, but a Spherical bearing upper mount is not nessisairly a Camber plate.
