Lets make our suspension so stiff that we get whiplash and can't handle our cars :thumbsup:



Honestly guys, unless you are racing your car or have some massively aggressive wheel setup, stick with normal spring rates

Maybe I dont feel that stiff cause my rear sway isnt on yet 24mm.... but still my rear isnt that stiff 8k i really think 14k would satisfy me. cause i carry a system my son and his car seat and usually i need to pick somebody up so yea that would more than likely work for me

That's fine dude. You realize that little baby will not be able to ride in your car for a little while...

I just said that because you are going to have a bunch of noobs hopping on the massively stiff suspension band wagon...then we're going to start seeing a rash of threads with those idiots posting pics of their wrecked cars because they lost control.

I like this

"Stiff springs" does NOT necessarily equal "better handling"!!! You're driving on public roads at reasonable speeds (I hope), not blasting around a track at 130 mph. You won't load really stiff springs enough to make them work well. Instead, you'll just bounce around like a 4-wheeled pogo stick. One thing is for sure: No matter how much you spend on tires, they do you no good if they're not touching the ground half the time!"

You realize that your rates are so close that it's trivial right?

16K vs. 15K front
14K vs. 13K rear

It'll be plenty stiff regardless.
