Hey guys I was wondering if you answer a quick question for me....I have a eg hatch and I purchased some tein s tech springs with the rates 210 in the front and 140 in the rear. I was wondering if their would be any bad effects from switching the rear springs to the front and vice versa ....any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why? The higher compression for the front sprigs is due to the weight of the engine. Switching the springs sounds like a great way to blow shocks

Thanks for the info I was just asking bc I got a pretty good drop with the backs on the front and the ride isn't bad ...just wondering before I throw the fronts on the rear

Plus I have around 100-120 lbs of audio equipment in the back...do you think that would make up the difference in spring rates?

S-techs are about the softest springs on the market... basically the same as stock. Your audio equipment weighs as much as an Asian teenage girl - you don't need higher-than-stock spring rates to accommodate that.
