Price isn't always the biggest indicator of quality, but when it comes to suspension it is a very good yard stick...

What are you referring to here? The 300% local mark-up?

Or the fact that cheap Teins (and many other dampers) are pretty horrid but 3 x more expensive ones are quite good?

Details on the front here.

I like the idea of Eibachs but when I tried buying some a while back they were only sold in front and rear sets.

Where do you recommend purchasing these Motorsport or Eibach rear springs and do the Teins need a platform adjustment too?

by "motorsport" I was talking about their off the shelf springs that suit any car - they are just sold in length, width and rate. Most local supply is Eibach (euro) which is probably the best manufacturer, but Hyperco is popular in the USA. One you adapt to 2.5", or 60mm, or whatever then you can pick and choose any spring rate and swap them in. Plus you would likely get adjustable height platforms. You won't need adjustable dampers if only changing +/- 10% rate.

You'll have to check the springs will be trapped at full droop though !

It was removed for a day or so while running at the lower ride height - just to see if the perch or the bump stop tab would bottom out first.

The shocks had a bump stop on them too. so it was all safe

Rightio............ Was just going to say a suspension place that starts with P and ends with Edders sells the rear perches. If not former advertisers such as WSP would probably carry them as well.
