when you had these springs in new condition did the fronts ever dip and rub? And is the 10k in the rear to stiff for it or was it fine? I’m looking to build my Sc300 for power (doing pulls, not drifting)

The 14k in the front always rubbed on dips even when new. No issues with 10k in the rear. Its comfortable and doesnt rub

My car has rubbed on 10kg in the rear before but it was a comfortable ride. I’m thinking of going 16kg in the front and 14kg in rear on my SC and LS when it’s time to get new coilovers. It should stiff enough to not rub like it does now.
