Right now your Comfort Sport kit uses 9kg front springs and 6kg rear springs. You can increase the spring rates +2kg over those rates with the current damper valving. If you would like to use anything stiffer than that, we normally recommend revalving the dampers to match. Unfortunately we do not offer an 11kg spring for the front. You can use either a 10kg or 12 kg spring, and the damper valving should be fine.
I definitely don't like the idea of a stiffer spring on the currently soft valving I have, I'd be afraid of a pogo stick effect where the shock couldn't control the spring. Think I'm going to try the BCR setup and see how it goes, either 12k front/10k rear, or maybe even 14k front/12k rear.

If you get me the info on how to get the higher rate coilover, I would definitely try them out. I also don't like the softness when I want to do spirited driving, but don't wanna leave the comfort for my daily driving. I've been researching this for a while. I called different companies and they tell me 4-6 weeks for springs. If they have em in stock, I'll order them this week and put em in as soon as I get them.
