For those of you with Megan Coilovers
They come stock with a 12kg spring in the rear....while if you are looking to go "road racing" that might be more ideal, but let's face it.....not too many SCs on the race track.
They do sell softer springs and after going to the 1/4 mile track a few times with the 12kg in the rear, I realized that was just hopeless. The car will NOT squat out the hole and has traction problems from a roll as well due to poor weight transfer.
I swapped out the rears last week to the 10kg units and man does the car ride A LOT nicer. These are luxury type cruisers, why destroy that? I haven't had a chance to go to the track yet as my clutch is now toast . I'm not expecting HKS DRAG coilover type performance, but it definitely is better than how they spec them from the factory.

I have the LP....I meant 8kg, not 10kg.
I know with 500+whp with a 305/30/19 rear summer tire I have NO traction in 2nd gear most of the time and I have videos of the car leaving off the line and it doesn't squat. Just bounces like a honda.
