Just curious, which level you going with? The Basic, SS, Flex? Also, just so you know, Tein offers custom spring rates and lengths, it's $200 to upgrade your springs. They claim their shocks can handle a 2kg/mm upgrade in spring rates before they need to be re-valved. I have talked to Mark @ Tein before, and he did say that you CAN go a 3kg/mm upgrade with the adjustable shocks like the SS or Flex, though it's not their recommended "max upgrade" range. They'd recommend keeping them on the stiffest setting in this case. Teins's have a 1 year warrenty.
Also, for future reference, in case you or anyone you know ever considers sleeve type coils versus a "tuned set-up" like Tein, Ground Control is pretty much the only sleeve type coils I'll recommend in most cases. They also are the only other company I know of who offers custom spring rates and lengths. They have a lifetime warrenty. A good shock to pair them with is Koni yellows (Sports). Those spring right over the Koni snap ring and don't have to sit in a perch like on mist shocks due to the Koni design. Also, the Koni's are a very good shock and can handle extreme drops. A tuned set-up like Tein will usually tell you how much of a drop they recommend and can handle, and it's usually more than most seperate shocks you'd buy. However, Koni yellows CAN handle an extreme drop of over 2" fine. Also, they have a lifetime warrenty. They are rebound adjustable. In Koni's I prefer the Nuespeed spec ones, which have a 20mm shorter shaft, 5-way adjustable perch vs. 3 and a few other things the regular sports don't have.
