I was under the impression that Apexi didn't make a 6k/12k setup. I could be wrong.

Its possible that they do. Where did you get them from, or did they come already on the car like that? Because I could see the reasoning behind putting the 12k springs in the rear.
What type of bounciness are you talking about? Is it bouncy like the rear's are on pogo sticks, or bouncy like the car hits a bump and you hit your head on the roof?

decompress the springs some i have the N1s too and i love em its my 3rd set actually... i've tried so many setups and always go back to ApexI N1s

i have also called apexi-usa and they told me their N1 front spring rate is 16kilo and rear is 7kilo... i have not yet crossed the #s to actual lbs...

but as of now im using 16kilo for front and rear... its alittle time consuming but just play with your suspension some more until you get the hang of it... if you need more questions just ask
