Default kg/mm springs

Anyone have em, or familiar with them. Most feedback I've heard is they retain stock ride better than any spring (non-coilover) available. Any opinions? Other than not to lower it at all!

almost everyone who has used kg/mm springs has a favourable impression of them

the ride quality is very good, it doesn't have the harshness typically associated with lowering springs such as H&R. at the same time, they perform very well

kg/mm is a spring rate, identical to lbs/in. It is a measure of how stiff the spring is, not a brand or type. For instance, if you compressed a spring with 400lbs of pressure and it compressed 1 inch, your spring rate is 400 lb/in. Same for kg/mm.

Interesting, that easily leaves room for misinterpretation

Of all the aftermarket spring, kg/mm is the best you can buy (beside coilover set). And the DR line is the way to go. It combine two spring into one. ride is extremely good, but when you push it, it will never disappoint you.

I have them and they ride really nice. Very close to stock. Using them with the OEM struts and can't complain. Get the DR-21 Race Version, that is what I have.
