Coilovers are not necessarily stiff because of the spring rates. A lot of them are stiff simply because they are valved much stiffer than what OE shocks are valved at. On top of that a lot of them uses a pillow ball top mount with a solid machined aluminum bottom bracket. The rubber bushings, and the rubber spring mounts that the OEM struts have is what makes the ride comfortable.
I retain all of that with these springs.
cool thanks.

and yep, im aware of coilovers and pillow mounts, alignment, amoungst other things that affect handling. ive done a lot of them in current and past cars.
