So I'm trying to figure out what spring rates to order on my BC coilovers, and I was wanting to know from people who chose the 16kg front/12kg rear setup how the car rides on normal city streets.

This is my wifes car, and I dont want the car to ride so stiff it rattles her fillings out.


The other option I was considering were the 14kg front/10kg rear setup as long as I can still drive with the fenders barely above the wheel lips.

That is the spring setup that I purchased on my BCR's (swift springs) and I'm scheduled for delivery this monday (3 days). Will be having them installed one week from today. So if you're not in a hurry, I'll report back my impressions after install.

16k and 12k is softer then stock????

most coils made for our cars is 14/10 i believe...

i went ahead nad got the 16k and 12k also and my dampening is at 20 clicks and it rides awesome to me...

20 clicks from full stiff?

Springs don't make the car stiff at these rates. The shocks make the suspension stiff. Springs resist roll, and the F could definitely use more roll control from the front end to keep the rear wheels on the ground in hard turns.

10 from full stiff, but now i ride 2 from full stiff with 0 preload cause my rims are aggresive

Yes those are not high spring rates for a car that's 3800 lbs. the BCs on my SC has higher rates than that and its only 3600 lbs. I also know someone that has BCs on their F with those standard rates. And he said its softer than stock.

I have the 16/12 spring combo on my BC's and love it. I am 10 clicks down front and rear for the dampening. The car at full damping is way too harsh for me. As is, the car rides very similar to stock with a little less jumpiness on uneven surfaces.
