My DC2 is daily driven on GCs with 400/400 springs. Its a bit too soft in the front to go too low, if the EK has the same suspension travel issues the DC2 does. However, you have a lighter car which will provide a stiffer ride with the same spring rates. I think it would be fine for daily use, just don't go too low and be prepared for a stiff ride.

Also, the EK has a rather agressive rear camber curve, so watch your alignment as you lower it, because you'll gain rear camber faster than the front and that might not produce the handling you're looking for.

 

I think the car will bounce more in the rear and you will not like it. Although, the car feels much better turning, but for daily driving, I would go around 350-400 lb rear. That is what i THINK.

 

thanks. i think i can survive with 400f 450r
