why do you need stiff?

you give me a good explanation why they would be any "softer" then gc with KYB's or tockico's, and i might listen. But to my knowledge all of those shocks can "handel" less rate then the koni yellows.

the only reason i want it to be stiffer, because i drove tokico blue with sportline, and just a damn stiff *** $50 coilovers from ebay.

i went to cannon runs a lots of time with them.
but it turns out the $50 coilovers feels no body roll at all. but the sportline with tokico blue, have a big body roll. so im not sure. but then those $50 coilovers give me a really hard time on the freeway. =[

rob, what car do you have the 550 in/lbs and 650 in/lbs springs on? And what coils are they? How heavy a car is can negate the effect of high spring rate.

I daily drive my '91 CRX Si in the Northeast on 500f/600r with the rebound damping set to 1/2 turn from full stiff in front and 1/8 turn from full stiff in rear. Anything less is for pansies
