TEIN SS Coilovers

What are the spring rates on these coilovers for the FD? I cant seem to find it anywhere using the search...

While I am at it, if anyone has these what is the ride like? How does the car handle? (tend to oversteer, understeer, nuetral?)

I am trying to decide between the SS and the flex. I dont really want to spend the money on the flex...

I dont need the adjustable shock body length. I do need to be able to set my ride height myself though. I have ruled out a Koni/GC combo because in the past I have owned this combo on another car and the shock valving didnt really match the spring rate, resulting in a somewhat bad ride. The SS strikes me as a way to get a koni/GC like combo without paying for the shock hats and the adjustable shock body length.

Thanks for any input you guys may have.

Well.. I answered my own question I guess.

670F/550R

12F/10R

I guess that sways me more towards the flex now... Ugh... Why are all the cheaper setups stupidly high spring rates!?
