I have no idea just copy and pasted what i saw on the site. Haven't looked into it too much. Just thought I'd put it out there since I haven't heard or seen anyone talk about them. I stumbled upon them doing a Google search:P

aj-r is a local tuner shop here in Vancouver. They are pretty reputable here locally for modifing JDM cars. However I couldn't comment on their product since I have never seen or know anyone that has tried them out.

They have some pretty good stuff on there site even though 96% of it cant be applied to our cars. The one thing is the price compared to what everyone else is running on their cars now. I think this on is the most expensive with nothing to back it up. One thing would be you would be unique like Chris with his K-Sports from the Accord.

i dont know about those coilovers in particular...

but AJ Racing tends to carry high end stuff, but also usually are on the pricier side.

I believe the spring rates somewhat affect the ride. Stiffer springs, less comfort. With that in mind, the Tein's are at 12/6, and ksport are 13/7.

And as a follow up...

Stock is? ASPEC is? Is stiffer a higher or lower number?

those in the pic look like linear springs.

12k/8k are way too high of numbers to be lb/in. or g/mm.

that mean it will take 12000lb/8000 to compress the spring 1 inch.

usually spring rates are around 450~1000 for street setup...

see that what i thought from previous springs and comparing to the Tein Basics and SS but the numbers were way off so I didn't have a clue what the 12 and 8K were for???
