Default custom springs for my bc rs.

has anyone had experience buying custom springs (like swift) for their coilover suspension? my set came with 10k/8k springs, but find myself bottoming out more often then i would like, particularly when driving downtown where the roads are especially $hitty. obviously if i slow down for bumps, i can avoid bottoming out, but sometimes don't realize how slow i need to go. or i can just suck it up and deal with it, but i'm getting tired cringing each time it bottoms out.

i have it set to full stiff and the car sits low. i'm thinking stiffer springs might solve my problem and am willing to sacrafice comfort.

If you're bottoming out the RS's set to full stiff with those rates, your shocks are probably blown. Do you know for sure that you're bottoming out?
