BC Coilover Questions
Need help fellas, don't want to have to uninstall & return coils.....
I have a 98 Aristo swap , LSBBK, TT Torsen, Valvebody Mod, HKS FCD & SLD. 20x9/10.5 wheels and I only plan to drop to 1 finger gap. My question is will stock 10/8k BC's suffice, or would 12/10k rates be better for increased energies all around (Braking, Hard Accelerations, the Torsen etc) ?

I'd rather be on the more comfort side, streets terrible in Nj. I hear 10/8k are good to most and too soft for the rest
People who have these rates please chime in

Good info , noted. So 14/12 on soft still should be fairly comfortable ? My toddler may take occasional rides in this car !!!

heck yea that would be perfect for him and you as well and u can always upgrade to the swift springs later I think I might drop down to 14/12 I think the surpas come 14/10 stock so u should good the thing is you don't wanna scrape 14/12 to me is right and gives alot of room to grow for feature mods.
I have an ls430 but I have bc's with 16k swift springs front 14k swift springs in the rear and custom valving to match. The dampening is set in the middle to around 3/4 towards hard and I daily drive my ls430 everyday in the spring, summer, fall, even my wife says that it is not to harsh you just feel very connected to the road and can really feel every flaw in it its not a bad thing if you are performance oriented.
