Straight out of Teins mouth regarding stiffer springs
I e-mailed Tein regarding either special ordering stiffer springs for the SS coilover, using DC5 springs on EM2 Dampers, or just using the DC5 SS Kit....
They said:
In regards to your question. We do offer different spring rates to purchase,
and it depends on your preference. By increasing your spring rates 2KG, the
damper itself will still be able to handle the rate because it is valve
within the range. The ride with the stiffer spring rates will be allot
firmer then stock, and it also depends on the road condition. Second, the
DC5 kit bolt pattern will fit on the EM2, but you would have to change your
tie rod link to a DC5 inorder for it to fit. Please contact anyone of our
dealer to purchase. Here is a link to all of our dealers.

Just in case anyone else might want a firmer ride and doesn't want to pay for Flex or JIC Magic and all the potentially unnecessary adjustability.
