2.5" ID rear springs, anyone have them?

What did you use as a solution for perches/jacking plates/ride height adjustments? Looking for some options to switch from OEM shock/springs to 2.5" springs+ Koni yellow setup.

No, but thank you. I am looking at swapping to SPL front and rear cambers when I do this though. I am just having a hard time figuring out to go coilover in the rear or not.

Is there a solution like those for the front if I stick with Shocks/struts on the front as well?

Do you know what wheel rate those midlinks will give you in the rear?

from the 350 forums, theres a general consensus that having a "true coilover" with the spring perched on the shock body in the rear is not as desirable as the independent spring and strut like we have stock. of course this is all hearsay though

as for the SPL midlink. i've looked into it since i have KW V3's and would like some toe adjustment, without having to expand the toe holes in the rear. the midlink is pretty awesome, SPL sells a companion linear, swift 2.5" spring with customized spring rate as well. unfortunately, i have no idea what spring rate would work for us.

there is no such product for the front since the front has to have a true coilover
