Custom spring rate??

It's the stiffness of the springs on the car you have the option to get a stiffer springs with BCR coils

They come standard 10k in the front and 8K in the rear for the rates. I got a custom setup with 12k in the front which is a bit stiffer. It all depends on what your going for I guess and how you drive your car!

The KW's will give a better ride when setup correctly. Meaning you would need to adjust the damping properly for your needs and have it set at a good ride height.

KW's are not meant to be lowered a lot, or slammed.

Thanks Sffd103, now I have to find a good price for them. I've been checking ebay, but not sure if I should trust ebay or purchase them at a local store.

Thanks for all the help. I reset my preload and the car rides a bit softer and it's not as tight in the corners. Anyone know how hard I can set the preload cause i wouldn't mind making it stiffer.
