Default Suspension Upgrade Q.

Did a search but can't find much.

Looking into a set of used Tein SS coilovers right now. The spring rate seems kind of stiff @ 780 lbs/in front and 670 lbs/in back. Does anyone know the stock spring rate for a GS3?

Also if someone who has a set of Tein SS can comment in terms of ease of adjusting, ride quality, ride comfort.. blah blah...

Thanks in advance.

i believe oem spring rate is 5/6.
adjusting/lowering coilovers is much easier than raising. i've heard adjusting the damper is quite easy as well. i never adjusted my CS. research more and you'll find lots of comments. i believe there's a sticky as well. btw, i think the SS are stiff. GL!
