Okay everyone I came to a conclusion that I will be going with BC coilovers with the extreme drop kit! I will also get custom spring rate but my question is when getting a custom spring rate which rate should I get them at??? What do y'all prefer for stiffness? I will be static and aiming to tuck half my tire with a bit of poke. Any help is greatly appreciated!

majority of people just run the standard spring rate that comes with their coils. only a few run stiffer.

Unless you are going to get very provacative out there on the road-course, the standard kit is perfect for most street applications.

I'm on 12kg/8kg and have no complaints at all...
