I've got KYB AGX, which have 8 settings on Eibach sportlines with 17" tires and can put 1 finger in between the ww with no scrape.

Some ppl say they're a little bouncy, but maybe having them professionally set up might help eliminate that. But ppl have started to call them 'the perfect DD/street coilover'...
That is what i will be on hopefully within a month or 2.

I will say, my stances are pretty soft compared to MGE's PBM coils. Granted the rest of my suspension and floaty boat tires are probably to blame for the softness, but if you are still looking by the time i get my new wheels and other suspension parts on, I'll let you know how soft the ride is.

yes that is expensive. but the diff spring rate springs are SWIFT brand racing springs which are some of the best in the business.

I might have to take you up on that offer depending on what I can get for my JIC's.

True, but they're very high quality springs. I see what you're saying though, you can get a set of most of other springs for that much lol.

OP, unless your JIC's have a lot of mileage on them (and could be due for a rebuild) I'd try some softer springs before you buy new coils.

dude... if your dampers are still good, why don't you consider getting some custom springs by Swift. http://www.swiftsprings.com/

imho, a 7/5kg or even a 6/5kg coil spring set up is a nice ride on Los Angeles streets.

EVEN if you could get a spring/ shock setup to go that low, would you? You're risking blowing your dampers at that height

Oh yeah, messed with my coils today.

Turns out the dampening was way out of whack. Got that fixed and she rides like a champ.

Adjustability ftw. JIC makes baller coils. Get them.
