well Cath always struck me as a full on track guy, which is cool because his opinions add more to the mix

Hmm mine don't seem too harsh on street. Try softening up the rear a lil more then the front. Thats how i have mine set up. Unless you go drifting then you'll want the rear a stiffer to get a better slide. Do you have these installed on a s13 or s14? I'll remeasure my car and see if there close. But I love my HE's one of the best investments I made next to my lsd.

it's on an S14... what dampening settings are your set at for street? I know you're on an S13 but I'd like to try them out ASAP anyways before I commit to selling them

I'll let you know tomm. I have to fig it out lol I forgot how many clicks i went down from the hardest. Cause when I use it for drift I pretty much leave the front the same and just increase the back for a better slide. But I'll let you know soon.. I know for a fact I have the front a lot softer then the rear. Another thing could be your car is heavier then mine that might make a bit of difference. Did you lower it a lot I have a finger between the tire and fender. What size tires are you running. When I was using 205/60 all around the ride was pretty good but since I put 205/50/15 in front and 205/55/16 in the rear the front end feels a bit rough but very responsive. I think you should just keep them if the ride is still harsh raise it up a bit so you can soften the shock a bit more.

Yeah it's pretty low... I"ll try lifting it up someday - if they don't sell soon...
