Jeez I have my KYB AGX/Ground Control coils lowered over 2.5" and I have my shocks at 8 in back and 4 in front and I wish it could even be a lil stiffer. I got the standard spring rates though.

^Well mine are a different part number, they only go up to 4, that's the highest setting... so my 4 is probably different from your 4.

I really have nothing to add; TBP covered everything quite succinctly. I'm glad he covered road conditions, though; I was going to post about it until I read his second post. For a street car, I'd take softer springs and struts/shocks and huge sway bars over stiff springs and struts/shocks and factory sway bars.

Since I decided to read this thread here's a word of unrelated advice - never run your shocks on fun firm. Always back it down a little.

Yup. All the way stiff will cause them to leak way before they should... for the track or every once in a while isn't terrible, but for every day driving, it's too much for the shocks to handle.

yep, we run full stiff on the s2k at highplainsraceway and deal with a **** load of unwanted bouncing on the street with a lower setting.
