SO with hks ls+ being quite difficult to come across was wondering if there are any other comparable coilovers I can look into, don't want super stiff, car is a daily want a nice ride without breaking the tailbone, just want it a bit stiffer through corners, and less ground scrapage friendly

HKS LS / LS+ / TEIN FLEX would be the most durable and comfy coilies hands down.

Not much 2nd hand in Japan that's any decent these days, all but dried up Nervous

Zero 2's in the Cusco range are the cream of the crop.

Not a fan of Taiwanese coilies.....

8 - 12 kg front is comfy anything over that is rock fuckin hard.

Rears 6 - 10kg would be fine.

From memory TEIN CS are 8 - 6 TEIN FLEX 10 - 8 and HKS LS range 9 - 7.

I am having troubles finding a bad review on the HSD coilovers, every one seems to like them that have them installed. What I am having trouble finding though is a shock dyno report/test on them. Not much in japan at all at the moment

do you know spring rates? These coilovers have 16 stage damper control, so might be able to soften them up a bit

They seem around $1300 bit pricey Have seen new cusco and teins for not much more from japan/usa. What spring rates do you have. I am considering hsd because I can get a set for very cheap, should be well under 1K
