JIC coilovers on Project RX8

By the time you see this post the coilovers have been on the car for about a week now but we've been very busy with our new website and all. They ride very nice, similar to stock as far as comfort goes. Here' a few pics.

Ewww, I hope you adjusted the rear shock, as that setting has too much preload on the rear spring in the stock/shipped format.

I had to lower mine about 1/2 from that setting to get preload to "just snug".

Afterwards, everything was much better and looser on the setup.

I wonder if the people complaining about the JIC's actually know how to adjust this type of suspension. Either way, the spring rates are much more than stock!

BTW, what is the stock spring rate?
