S550 tein lowering springs

How do you figure?

Front should in the 180 to 200 range and the rears 950+

Just when you think YouTube has a video for everything, not one Tein spring install or review popped-up for a Mustang.

391lb/in front and 671lbs/in appears to be the only Tein setup I could find for the S550, and it’s in coilover form. Very aggressive front rates for a street car; I think this exceed’s the rates on Steeda’s full-purpose racecar. The rear is surprisingly soft...as in base GT soft, though it’s possible some coilover wizardry may be at play. I honestly couldn’t tell you how this would handle — “interestingly” would be my best guess.

For the record, I got the above rates from:

https://www.driftshop.com/tein-flex-z-coilovers-ford-mustang-2015.html

These are the coilovers. No telling if the rates listed on the website are correct. I suppose my math conversions could be off too...I was at a pretty intense bierfest a few days earlier.

Edit: yes, I was off on the rear rate. It is 728lb/in. I’ll correct the earlier post.

the rates are 171/751

Seems to be more comfort oriented rather than performance

And that works perfectly fine for me I love the ride

@imrex613 how you'r going with them? and did they _improve_ comfort/handling/performance (over base or PP, what do you have?), or literally the same but lower?

I'm very interested too. Looking for an adjustable coilover that basically starts from stock ride comfort (with a bit better damping control), and can be adjusted a bit stiffer if wanted. Also like that TEIN have the EDFC controller so you can adjust on the fly without having to get under the car.
