Hmm thanks for the heads up I thought I saw they used the oem spring location. Well that's a bummer, not sure I like the idea of transferring that load to the shock towers when it wasn't intended to be there. Well **** maybe I'm all out of options and won't change from oem, nothing really matches the criteria I'm after. Maybe just go koni yellows when the oe wears out, I'll get the rebound damping but no corner balancing.

Check out Fortune Auto 500's. Fortune Auto offers custom spring rates and are digressive as well. They will service and rebuild. I have them and they are very nice. I will probably change out my springs when I decide to anything other than drive on the road lol.

Any idea what their min drop is? Also did you go with the stock 11k/8k setup? How harsh is that? Seems I can move up or down 2k through most venders and stick is basically 8/8 so if I go 10/8 I can still drop to 8/8 if 10 is too harsh but 11 is just out of that ability.

Another thing to think about. If you are running big meats on the rear.

How much clearance is there between the top of the tire and the coilover? Camber plays an important part in this too. More camber, less clearance.

These are really good coil overs for the price!
