Default your favorite coilover?

Hey, i was just wondering what everyone's favorite set of coilover or lowering springs were in terms of ride quality, while still maintaining good geometry for an occasional auto-X. There are some apc coilovers on there right now, and they ride real hard. im feelin every little bump and nook.


secondly, what exactly do spring rates mean? i found the page on here with all the spring rates, but does more kg/in mean softer ride? or is it the other way around?

its kg/mm and the higher the number the harder the ride. 6 or 8 is good for the street. people hate on JDM but TEIN SS w/pillowball mounts are the best i've experienced out of about 4 different set-ups. they were made/developed for street with the occasional auto-x/mountain run in mind.
