i didnt know tein made just springs for FCs. but most springs have high spring rates then stock making the car corner better. its not gonna make you go faster though.

if this is your daily driving car and if you do decide to get lowering springs don't lower the car too much, just a bit. Now if you like running in a race track then yes the springs will improve the way you take corners, and you can actually take the corners at higher speeds.

Tein's are really good springs I think you should get them but don't drop your car to the ground, that's just gay and you won't be able to drive around the street or the track. Have good suspension for a reason not to be cool.

I have tokico hp shocks and eibach springs which lower the car almost an inch, and I can go over speed bumps and steep driveway inclines much easier than the two stock suspended FC's I've seen try to do it (one with worn out shocks and the other with good shocks).

I wouldn't get stiffer springs (which all lowering springs should be) without getting a stiffer strut to go with it, otherwise the car will feel bouncy like those lowriders of the early 90's .....

It's great driving my car around town with the stiffer than stock suspension, and I've got a light FC so it's definately firm, but not that bad, I prefer my suspension over stock any day for street driving because it makes the car much more fun to throw around.
