your on 20k /18k..... in ga??? lol.... hows the ride with that high of a spring rate??? and when you go higher and spring rate do you actually just change the coilovers or do you just change the springs?..... i heard it ok to go up by 2k but anything more isnt recommended unless you get new valving for the struts.... or is that just a myth
