This is why I bugged Scott to try to get Vishnu coilovers when I worked there, but Brett made it kinda hard for him to order.
Yeah, I tried to get some! I'm also trying to get a copy of DeltaDash, but no one at Vishnu has bothered to answer the phone any of the 15 times I've called this week.

Hey Mike, do you really think the dampers will be far out of range for stiffer springs? I'm having a bounce issue with my JICs and Nate suggested I try some stiffer springs (even though to me is seems like I'm under-dampened to begin with, Nate tells me undersprung cars can also bounce). I was thinking about a 9k/9k setup, but I didn't want to re-valve my shocks.

I may have to just bite the bullet and order some new shocks from JIC and some 500 lb/in Eibach springs. 'Course for that price I can probably get Nate to make me some custom shit...

Hell, if this sale goes quickly, I might just have to sell mine too, then use the cash to have Nate build me something exactly to my needs.
Scott,

You may be able to send your units to JIC and they could re-spring and re-valve them. I don't know if it is cost efficient or not, but it's worth a phone call. A 9/9 setup is going to be pretty damn stiff depending on the damper stroke. Helper springs on your current setup might help the bounce too, but at the price of some induced understeer, especially on an AX course. I would highly suggest sending an email to ft@selgp.com He's kind of the Shiv of suspension. Very knowledgeable on setting up coilovers. His website is http://www.selgp.com We're working on a custom FLTA2-RS setup for my STi right now.

As for DD, I'd suggest buying it somewhere else. I bought mine from Vivid (the only thing I bought from them because they made a mistake and had it underpriced by $75) back when they first came out.
