i installed with the specs written on the installation manual, how come the front is more stiffer than the rear?
Also is it better to set the front higher than the rear, or the rear slightly higher than the front or even height all around?
thx
i would suggest either even all around, or a bit lower in the front. so when you launch on a FF, as the front raise upwards... car will still be even and better grip. but that's just my opinion. i have set my front a bit lower than the back. springs stiffer in front because engine is heavier. on my sustec pro ss... it was 6kg spring in front and 4kg in the rear... which would be fine if i had a hatchback... but now i have both 6kg front and 6kg rear springs. the 4kg springs in the rear was too weak for the coupe. best rate to use on these JDM suspensions would be 8kg front and 6kg rear.

do i measure it from the ground to the side skirt on the front and rear, or the ground to bumper?
thx
if you have stock side skirts... then measure from ground to side skirts. but for better measurements... i count the thread marks on the suspension itself, since the ground may not always be even on all sides.

if i use these setting 54mm/front and 48mm rear, isn't that kinda low? is this more than a 2" drop?
thx
on my EX, i have 2.15" drop all around... alignment and camber still holding fine after 3 months.

sorry, in the tein website, it said to be -54mm front and -48mm rear for the road clearance ride height, does that mean the same thing?
thx
they recommend higher in front because to prevent people whom doesn't know how to drive from scraping. but it's just a recommendation... but if you know how to drive, then i think it's fine. just avoid going to fast on bumpy roads.
