Just wanna know what spring rates you guys n gals here are running in your soarers. Would 13fronts and 7 rears be to much? My car is a daily aswell and i drive in the hills a lot but not sideways styles

Standard spring rates are at about 6 to 6.5kg/mm front and 3 to 3.5kg/mm rear.

Those springs would be very stiff!

I'm running 18f 12r. Pretty stiff but I'm used to it now. If I had the choice again I wouldn't go any harder than 12f 8r.

After driving lots of different soarer suspension setups I would be going for 12kg front and 8kg rear.

This will still ride well but the key is good shocks.

Supra Bilstein's IMO is the best option.

10kg fronts and 6kg rears here. Stiffer than my lowered springs before but can definitely live with it.
