technically and theoretically you should be able to mix springs between coilovers, i.e take a 6kg spring from a tien coilover and put it into the HSD's, assuming dimensions are correct, just a diff spring rate,

 

maybe thats just hopes and dreams but it's worth looking into

yeah ill def look into since I'm not workin atm with my injury gives me 24-7 to do research :D

 

cheers for all the opinions etc helps a great deal.

Small update, recieved my Dash cluster today! yaay
