Question BC Coilovers

Quick question as I order my kit... I have a 2007 is250 rwd and will be purchasing this kit..... should I go with the standard kit which I believe is 10k/8k or do the custom 12k/10k to tuck the 20s that I am currently running?


wheels are 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear
already currently lowered on Road Magnet springs and just need to know if this spring rate is going to need to be change for the static appearance I want to obtain...

After having owned a set of BCRs myself for over a year with a custom ordered set at a 12k/8k rate, I had wished I had went with a 14k/10k rate. Current setup is just not enough for me I guess.

I'm running custom 12/10k rate...i love the feel and the stance...it depends on how aggressive...if you are super aggressive then go 14/10 if not then 12/10 should be perfect...

the higher spring rate the stiffer it is so it don't bang on your rim...in a nutshell
