my friend has them, in a 1988 infini, they are pretty stiff but they are not ridiculious,

i have a 1988 infini with zeal coilovers, the RS*R springs are mid way between standard infini and coilovers, infini is harder than normal

Ohhhh NICE Mr lang. I am flattered you are running Zeal coilover. Which model do you have? We are running Zeal V6 on one of our three triplet FC's.

I would be more concerned with the "stiffness" of the valving on the AGX as opposed to the RSR Race spring. The Tokico Illumina would yield a better ride quality. Just some food for thought.

Will the AGX be able to handle those springs? i have read that a really high spring rate can blow a shock ? ?

im 99% sure they are v6's in my car aswell, i bought them second hand but in as new condition but they didnt come with any packaging. i must say they are ******* awsome, the car's grip limit is way higher and when you slide the rear its SOOO much easier to control. ive only had them for a few days, so im yet to fully adjust to the new setup.

is your car used on the track, what camber settings have you found sucessfull for track and street driving? (ps very nice and straight fc in that pick, id love to see more of them modified in that fasion)

on 240sx's the kyb agx cannot handle 'too stiff' or 'too low'. they've been known to blow very quickly if you put the wrong springrates on or if the springs drop the car too low.

you can find the agx's maximum reccomended spring rate and maximum drop from the internet. compare to RSR rates and average drop and there's your answer.

since i'm bored at work:

maximum spring rate = 50% over stock for your application:
http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...?threadid=7536

RSR RACE Spring Rate:
RX-7 88-91 6.00/335 4.00/224

couldn't find any info on the change in height. chances are 6/4 is way over 50% stiffer then stock. someone else fill in rx7 stock rates for me.
