I'm looking to get some coilovers for my vert. I'm into drifting and touge. How many kgs do I need to look for? One of my friends said 10kg since it's kinda heavy. Any suggestions?

Street driving my vert with 9kg/7kg is plenty stiff. Depending on dampning traction becomes a real issue. 10 is impractical IMO.

I run 8/6 and ride is good. 10 is out of question. Too stiff.

I think this is still too stiff for a daily beater, i say ask someone who experienced 8kg /6k or something a bit less

I have 8/6 on my car and ride is good. It also depends on quality of coilovers that you get. I run Stance and it's comfy and stiff at the same time. It's hard to describe though, but I just love them. 7/5 & 8/6 are way to go IMHO.
