Nothing adjust spring rates, your talking about preload.

I just got a question on coilovers, which ones are you guys using???????

This is my car on 17x9 +35 rpf1's, with 275/40s, yes I know, it doesn't belong on this thread





I'm on koni yellows and htechs, this was lowered using PS, hence the question.

^Ceaser. Definitally go with the Stance GR+.

One of the best coilovers for the Price out right now.

The lowest offset for that size rim is +22, which would look even sicker than that pic

Actually with the standard offset the lowest is +12, but with Grams you can get custom offsets.

Hipermax rs is soft? IDK, but you really just inspired me seriously, your 8 is sick. You have a fender roll right, or just modded a little?
