It depends on what you're looking for.. some likes the extra bling factor...and..

Is it possible to do a factory rebuild or upgrade on these Bilsteins? Do you really think they are nothing more then bling?

I'm sure they are more than blings... they give Evo softer ride and react faster
than oem Evo shocks which should turn into better handling (not sure by how
much)...

BUTTTT.. does it worth several $$$k over regular Evo??
And let's be honestly... who's really buying MR for the better shocks??.. most
real racers will change out the suspension anyways... that left, well, you know
who.

Well, after burning myself with some mods I want to buy a car and keep it stock. I want to drive it and enjoy full term of the warranty. So I am looking into a good stock setup. I am still not decided if I want to get an EVO (and which version) or a S2000.

The original post shows the following. "Last edited by Tri-Bar : Jun 3, 2004 at 09:59 AM." Surely, this can be updated.

based on this chart, i feel that my tein flex is stiffer than 9kg/8kg.
i've called tein and they said the spring rates for tein flex is 12kg/10kg.
