What spring rates are you guys running for "slammed" cars?
Just seeing what everyone else is running that is "slammed" for daily driving. I know people are going to hate but it's fine, just try to stay out of the thread.
Going to leave it as an open poll, and please post in the thread also if you vote! Thanks.

it feels great.. been running it for more than a year now.. its stiff.. it does its job on the streets and while i'm auto-xing
Not really "slammed" but tucking tires. Running GC/Koni 425f/400r coming from OTS rates. It's a little rough, but taking turns feels great to me. I kind of want to step down to something a little softer, but don't want to bottom out.

Haven't those rates come in in 3 or 4 threads recently?
I daily drive 400/400 rates, and its not an issue at all. However, that isn't nearly stiff enough of a rate in the front to ride "slammed". Using GC upper mounts and their supplied bumpstops, and lowered to flushed tires, had my GSR sitting on the bumpstops in the front at ride height. Not the best thing for ride quality, and certainly not enough available suspension travel to avoid bottoming the shocks out from time to time. Raised back up to 6" from the front side jack points (aprox. 2 finger gap), and it rides very nicely with those rates.

Yeha sorry. it's that a few of my friends are using Tein Flex and its so smooth and he's all the way down on them and doesnt rub or anything. I'm really not going to be tracking the car much at all, besides going in a straight line.
I was told going softer in the rear will help the ride quality, as in not as bumpy.

lol it *used* to be midpage but we had to archive a bunch of stuff, the homepage was taking too long to load.
We are PIC, I can answer questions if you have any, although slamming cars isn't one of the selling points of our products..
