I run a 12K/10K setup and I don't think I'd go higher than that for a street-driven vehicle with normal/crappy roads. These may actually be somewhat comfortable on nasty highways.
Looking at the kit, it's definitely OEM spring location in the rear. What I'd like to know is do you still have to take the rear shock out to adjust rear damping if you don't want to drill holes in your car? Other than that, good price point and I'm sure it'll persuade a few folks to save a bit and shell out for these vs. the cheap Taiwan/Chinese shocks.

You would still need to drill holes as they are essentially a v2 shock, something I still need to do to mine but am waiting till my friend can 3D print me some plugs I designed that I think won't look bad. What caught my eye was the rear using a linear spring and helper spring so a little more droop than all the others available. Yea great price point too, if I didn't just get my powertrix a few months ago these would have been very tempting even though I am a monotube fan in terms of design theory (unless it's a twin tube like ohlin ttx which these are not). Maybe greddy will sell their rear spring setup (without the springs), then could use whatever spring you want and add some droop not that I'm having rear lift issues but I'm also not on R compounds.
