My spring rate is 450 Front 340 Rear i am using the instruction manual settings of 59mm or 2.32 inches front and 47 mm or 1.85 inches rear with a damper adjusted 8 clicks from the hardest setting.

Its not the height. Its the spring rate. When did you install your coilovers?? Leave them at 8 and 8 for about 1000 miles so they can break in evenly.

Mine are set at 5 front and 3 rear for regular bumper to bumper street driving.
6 front 13 rear for Auto X.
1 front 16 rear for drag.
And on my long TX highway trips 16 and 16.

YMMV though....

This is about five days now i have them on

It seems as if the car slams down if i go over a pot hole or speed hump

Anymore help?

That should not be hapening if you have those specified spring weights.

What could be the problem? could it be suspension bind or damage dampers? or some thing like that. could someone else let me know what settings and height they have.

Did you get the standard spring rates or something different?

For my B13 (NX2000) I used the standard spring rates that come for the B14 note that THE PART NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT For the B13 and B14. Since I already have the Tein SS on my B14 I used those spring rates to order my B13 spring rates.

Steve (98sr20ve) said in one of his old posts that the B13 would be much more liveable with the B14 spring rates instead of the stiff ones Tein supplies with the SS for the B13

These are the spring rates I used for MY B13 (NX2000)
For the Front 6kg/mm or 336lbs/inch Part# SL060-01200

For the Rear 5kg/mm or 280lbs/inch Part# SB050-01200


B14 (these are the springs Tein supplies with the SS for the B14)
Front SB060-01200

Rear SH050-01200

These are the spring rates Tein supplies with the SS for the B13 version.

8kg/mm 450lbs/inch SL080-01200
6kg/mm 340lbs/inch SB060-01200
