I want to know what are the best spring rates for ground control coilovers on kyb's? I want the car to be slammed but have a nice stiff ride, but not bouncy like those ebay coilovers. im also gonna have custom exended top hats. so what are the best spring rates? SLAMMED

This topic has been beat to death , there is a search function above and its really easy to use. Just a heads up though, the rates you are going to need (probably around 500 front) are not going to give you a smooth/not bouncy ride if you want to be SLAMMED. IMO slamming your car on ground controls is might as well just get something that will get you low. Even with ETH you will run into the problem of your uca hitting the shock tower.

For what? So you can just look at them and ask 50 billion questions about them, bump all the old threads that talk about "meisterr super lows" and never make a purchase? Oh. And take threads off topic by bring up totally unrelated hardware?

I dont think kyb's can handle those high spring rates.

No one cares.


Now, back to the topic at hand. With those shocks, you really are throwing your money away. Those are OEM replacement shocks, ,which were meant for OEM, or somewhat close to a OEM spring.

To support a slammed height, you are going to need in the 500lb range in front, which could kill those shocks. Not to mention being slammed could hurt them as well.

I strongly reccomend you look into a better shock, such as the Koni sport (yellow), the tokico illumnia. Or, Even a bilstein shock. However, I don't know much about those.


I don't mean to be rude, but if this is the sort of budget you're working with, just get F&F type 1's and call it a day. I rarely say that, but they will get you low, ride decently, and they are pretty cheap.

Maybe just me, but I really don't see the point in spending a lot of money on a great setup, just to ruin it by slamming the car.
