Just a heads-up. Had this done on my 10th. gen. but I went back to stock following my tuner's advice.
Te remnants of rev hang are causing greater delay in this platform anyway...
I'm also experiencing clutch slip but didn't mention it initially since it was happening even before tuning.
I added it now FWIW.
55 reports it's really a small sample but nice to see there are no major failures. Are there no more versions of the 1.4l using the weak rods?
Could be. To me they feel very close to the HFP springs in my 8th gen that are around 300LBS/in.
Except the HFP kit is tuned together with the shocks and is just very firm and not bobbing about.
I don't really have the bounciness on rough roads that @absolude mentions, I think the rebound damping on the OEM struts is more than capable to handle the increased spring rate for a while. The front end much firmer with the stiffer springs, but I would never characterize it as bouncy. If...
I used Pennzoil Synthetic 5W-30 in my 2018 Turbo Hatch with no problems. Definitely engine was quieter.
I choose the Pennzoil because the viscosity is at the lower range of the 30 oil weight for viscosity and the great oil analysis.

Problems/issues...
Thanks for the pic. Is the road slightly downhill?
Petty sure mine is higher in the front compared to rear.
I'll take a picture if I drive it to work tomorrow.
Sure, NP!
Maybe I should say that the front is slightly higher than the rear. Is this the case for stock springs???
In that case, I'd try the AFE Type R springs. Those are progressive and start from 165 lb/in., which IIRC, is the same as stock Si's rate. Thinking it'd be less bouncy on rough roads.
Thanks for sharing this mod!
My car hasn't settled yet to stock height and I wish I knew why passenger front is higher than driver's side.
Luckily I noticed before switching springs otherwise I'd be going crazy.
I measured the height just before the switch, for reference, and didn't pay any...
