Based on your previous post I think you are confusing 'stiffness' with ride height. Not trying to insult you but your 'stiffness' or 'compression/rebound' doesnt change with ride height. Meaning, you set the comfort and you can set the ride height. So you can be lowered to meet the needs of your drive way and have the same comfort as any height. I'm personally set on 23 of 30 clicks (15 being the middle, 30 being the softest, 0 being the stiffest). I'm just testing the comfort level/performance. Next week i'll set 8. But to clarify, stiffness wont make a difference in whether or not you clear your driveway.

Edit: Check that, just re-read your post(s), you get it. Maybe my response will help others. I'll leave it as is.

Haha yeah no I got the dampening aspect, I mean when you bought the coilovers what spring stiffness did you choose. 12/10 14/12 etc.

I just installed these yesterday and for those who had the same question as me. Yes you can go even higher than stock, but I don't think you guys want to lol. I got 16/14 spring rates by the way.

^ Someone likes a really stiff ride haha.

It's actually not an uncommon spring rate for both the second and 3rd gens. We find the 16kg/mm fronts are being requested more and more.

Yea it is pretty stiff, but it's not bad once you find your perfect dampening setting. I was messing with it yesterday and maxed it out and it was way to bouncy, but I found my perfect setting. I have 20 clicks from soft to hard all the way around. Debating if I should drop 2 clicks from the rear.
