Im thinking about doing 10/8 like the superdrifts from tein come stock i dont care about it being to stiff i just dont want it to be real bouncy. What spring rate would you do? its a s13 hatch. Thanks

10/8 or 12/10 for track8/6 for streetanything lower than 8/6 would be pretty worthless for coilovers imo

well i do drive on the streets not too much though and i usually only drive where its smooth but i dont want the car really low i just want it stiff and not too bouncy, So ill probably go with 10/8 i really like driving mountain roads and most of them are pretty smooth in most parts. Is 12/10 way too stiff? Or is it worth getting? I dont want it to really hurt my back but i dont race around town or anything i barely ever drive around town i like driving in groups of people once a week or so, Let me know what you think i should get i just want 0 body roll and a good weight balance I really dont mind stiffness too much i have a decently thick tire on there now so its not gonna be too bad.
