Hi everyone, I been looking into getting the GP sports coilover, but the spring rate on them are 12/f and 10/r, is that too stiff for a daily driver and weekend drift car?? Does anyone have any experience w/ them?? Or, would you guys recommand going w/ some JIC FLT-A2 instead since the dampening is adjustable and the spring rate is 7/f 5/r?? Any advice will be appreicated!! thanks

That spring rate is way too hard for the street and normal street tires. Hence Drift.

driving on the street with those would feel like you have no shocks and instead of springs you have solid PVC...well u get my point...TOO STIFF! :D

Yeah, that'd be a horribly stiff ride, the JIC's will be stiff enough from what I've heard...but it'd be hella fun when you went drifting!
