hey guys
I just went to my suspension guy, I've opted for the full package, of Adjustable height front and rear, and adjustable shock absorbers, with custom springs, so it will be around 2-4inches lower,
+
urathane bushes in the main places, whiteline sway bars for the front and rear...
but i can't decide what spring rates i want, can you give me an idea on what people have here etc... I want it hard, but not hard to snap my chasis etc... Its a weekend fun car, that i ususually take up the mountains and down GOR and that kinda stuff,

not sure exactly yet, still waiting on some minor price alterations, but roughly in the 3-3.2k price bracket.....
and when you look at the differance of say 1200 for adjustable height coil overs , i wanted to pay the extra, for front and rear adjustability... thats all up installed also, they arn't a brand name, they are custom made, in the workshop

let me just say this:
for a road car, you do not want hard springs. my springs are "kinda" hard, and its shit, i lose traction over bumpy ground all the time. just ask them to do you "heavy duty"
springs, like 25% higher rate than stock.
good call with the coil overs though, you should be able to get custom springs fairly easily, as they are easier to make.
price seems pretty good too.
what car is it for?
