What do we reackon folks?
Plan on binning these shitty/pikey cut springs out later this eveing in favour of the TA's I have or the GTi6 shock/60mm springs.
Are the TA's rock hard?
I wouldn't mind it being fairly comfortable as the Datsun is my toy car.

I've had both and IMO I prefer shocks and springs. The idea of adjustable is great, but in reality doesn't happen too often.
Decent springs on gti shocks are more driveable and you can really feel the front end. TA's to me tended to hop about when putting them into road corners , if that makes sense

I had gti struts with 60mm springs and i changed them for some ta's as they were pretty bouncy. I think if your going to lower on stuts you ideally what to uprate the shocks as well.
Im pretty happy with the ta's though tbh. Yes they aren't the nicest drive over really bumpy roads but i drive on a lot of bumpy country roads and haven't considered going back to shocks and springs
