Im looking for somthing to replace my HK$ springs. They are 17+ years old and worn(duh).

And since a new lip will be in my posession pretty soon, I was looking into oppinion/fact, on who makes the stiffist spring for our car. It will be a bit higher. I know nothing will be as low as the HKS's but I could use another 1/2 inch to an inch off the ground along with some super still spring rates.


Anyone wanna kick this off?

I seem to recall H&R springs being singled out as one of the stiffest springs for the supra. I dont know about reputable, but I have seen them for sale new on Ebay.

I think I may go with the H&R's. They are Low(good looking) and stiff as Weezl said. Get me some backup and you get yur Plus 1.

I cant find Tein Springs Jon


Nothing can really be lower than My HKS springs... And im sure they are worn, thus giving me less of a rebound

Kyle already has HKS struts and HKS springs. He is just looking for a spring replacement to raise up the car a little.

anyone know how to convert that to kg?

RSR Race springs are listed as 12/6 and they're the stiffest I've seen. I haven't seen the H&R spring rates listed anywhere.
