Replacing springs for tein ss

Hey yaŽll...new year and new stories.
Well, I ride with my 01 sedan on tein ss. Last summer i got them and they did not slam my ride enough
Rear is fine, i can go 4 threads lower but i have already no gap at all on 17" and thats fine
But the problem is front...I have EP3 tein ss kit and front spring are 225mm long and for em/es it should be 200mm!
But my question is: can i throw in 175mm long tein replacement springs with same rate as it is originally? How will the damper react? that setup definetly would slam!!!

you would most likley be better off getting a straight answer by calling tein and asking cuz i doubt any of us have even thought of that

so they have 9" springs, you need 8s and you want to use 7s.
Sure. Just turn the collar up another inch provided there's travel.
Isn't gonna make a lick of difference how long it is if you keep adjusting the collar to suit the length of the spring.
