Re: Coilover spring rate questions

["Owen" <mr.peepers@home.com>]

Danny,
    i'd say drop'em 100lbs in front and rear.  I drive on ground-controls
with 300 front and 250 rear, and its still really stiff.  if you want
softer, this is not it.  i think 250 and 200 should be more comfortable,
while still not being near as squishy as stock.

HTH!
