I was wondering why my coilovers took a long time to get in. Lol. I didnt know they had to match the valves with the spring rates! I was gonna ask if i could jus get stiffer spring rates for my system. But it probably wouldnt ride as smooth compared to what it is now. N YES! The ride is real comfy! I think my daughters will love the smooth ride compared to my old ebay coil sleeves on my teggy! Lol!

How is the ride with a stiffer spring rate with matching valves? Is it bouncey?

I wanna run my wheels flush to the fenders n have a low stance! But i think with the 8k in the rears are too soft! My tires rub jus the way it is. If i was flush, i think id mess up the fenders n wheel lip.

Definitely bro!! So you rebuilding the Scaras eventually, huh? If I ever got the opportunity to buy your Scaras, I'd look to go the opposite way, rebuilding then up to 20" with some even fatter stepped lips!!
