I did not realize that they were progressive springs. How long do you think they will last in the stock struts? Thanks :)

Is '04 GF210 really Progressive Springs?
I am still confused.

I thought that they weren't, but by the way they look in the picture they look like they are. I am confused too.

I would be suprised if you had any problems. You should be ok for aleast a couple of seasons. But then again I wouldn't be supprised if your struts never went bad on you.

Let me know.

Heres the low-down on springs, coilovers, struts, etc.

The Gf210 cil spring is geared more wowards performance and track use due to its more linear rates and higher spring rate, but is completely suitable for daily driving.

Regarding progressive and linear rates, there is a lo of misinformation on the internet as to what is better, why and what to look for. Many people tend to ask "Are they progressive or linear?" For a standard coil spring that mount to OEM style shocks and struts, they cannot be one or the other.

Standard automotive coil springs (with the exception of fixed diameter springs for adjustable coilover suspension) are both linear and progressive. For drivability and ride cumfort, a portion of the spring uses a progressive rate, while the majority is linear. One thing that sets different manufacturer's springs apart is the precentage of progressive 'coils' on the spring versus the linear 'coils'

Typically the progressive coils are wound tighter together and are located on the top and bottom of the spring. The center portion has evenly spaced coils, which is the linear rate.

What dictates how many progressive coils a spring should have? This can only be determined through R&D, and is dependent on many factors, including upper and lower OEM spring perch, weight of the vehicle and several others.

The progressive coils located on the top and bottom of the spring help with daily driveability and work to absorb some of the shock from irregular road conditions.

A common misconception is that the struts dictate driving performance. Struts, also called dampeners, work in conjunction with the spring to ensure that the bound and rebound of the suspension is not too quick , or too slow. The majority of suspension travel and handling is performed by the coil spring. If a shock (or adjustable coilover in many cases) is valved too stiffly, it is not allowing the spring to perform it's function. The huge misconception with many people who are looking for adjustbale coilovers and look strickly at the dampening stiffness as a gauge of 'performance.' A stiff damper does not compress nor rebound quickly, which means the contact patch of the tire with the ground is not optimal or 0% on bumpy or rough surfaces. A proper spring/strut combo or adjustble coilover suspension will have a spring rate and internal valving that is mated to complement each other.

"Stiffer is not always better"

Tires are the only thing connection your car to the road, if the contact patch is not optimal or non existant, then handling performance is degraded.

is there a difference between the ss pro type 1 and type 2 aside from the fact that the type 2 doesnt come with helper springs?

The main helper spring on the Type 2 is longer then the Type 2 to make up for the extra length of the Type 1's helper spring.

How about bumper stopper cutting on STi?
Any pic of how to cut the bumper stopper?

So how long do you think my stock struts would last with a set of GF-210 springs on the car? If it's more than a year or two, I might as well put the springs on and then put KYB struts on later when the stockers are fried.

Since I've got a wagon, maybe H-techs would be even better for the stock struts because they only lower about 1" all around.

Honestly, I would be suprised if they blew out period. I haven't had any complants about anyone having problems blowing out their factory struts.

I dont have any pics of how to cut it. I would just cut it in half, using a razor blade. And make sure to wear gloves :) We don't want anyone to loose a finger or anything.

how long do the coilovers last not racing or anything.? i just want something for a daily driver and take off the gap.. =D. i have h& r's i love it but i want something more aggressive looking.. my friend has teins flex and i want to try something new. i know for teins if they need to be repaired they are sent off to california. if you have any more info on this that would be great :)

I'm looking at some coilovers.....teins, h&r, etc. I have stock right now. Wondering if you could explain the difference between the possible gc8 tanabe options you can get for me. I can see the price spread but don't know much other than that. Also, i know coilovers allows for adjustability but what is necessary for service? I'm running this as a street car, might consider some auto-x in a while. Thanks for all the help.

It is 6K/4K, there must be a mistake on the website. If you want 8K/6K I can do that for you. Just let me know.
