SLW42 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
