Someone posted a comparison between various coilovers and lowering springs with a point scale relative to the stock ride. I cannot find it does anyone remember where this is?

OEM Suspension - 1
A-Spec Suspension - 3
Eibach Suspension - 3
Tanabe Pro S-OC Type II - 3
TEIN High Techs - 3
TEIN SS on softest setting - 3
H&R Sport - 4
TEIN SS-P on softest setting - 4
TEIN Basics - 5
TEIN S-Techs - 5
K Sports on softest setting - 6
TEIN SS on firmest setting - 6
TEIN SS-P on firmest setting - 7
K Sports on firmest setting - 9

what's tein ss-p?

Where would 07 Type S fit in this scale. I've got one and it feels quite firm (with my 18" tires).

I don't think there is any difference in the suspension from 06 to 07 so if Wyman's TL-S also has the A-Spec kit, then yours is a 3. If you don't then your stock @ a 1. Note: ALL suspensions feel "firm" when they are new.

Wyman

I read when the new 07's came out that they modified the suspension.
The base TL is a softer ride than the 06. The Type S is firmer than the 06 (base).

Note, I don't believe the Type S has the "A-Spec suspension"though.

wonder where the comptech springs would rate on this list?

ndabunka

The Comptech and Eibachs are the same springs so ...a 3 seems accurate

Type S suspension has changed damping rates, stiffer springs and sways, not as stiff as A spec but a great compromise,handles as well as my A spec with a little more comfort, steering ratios are changed as well so type S has quicker turn in
