I'm not sure of the spring rates. I got that setup from RX7.com. I told Rocky I was wanting a suspension setup mainly for autocross but nothing too low or harsh and that is what he sent me along with some front and rear sway bars and front and rear strut tower braces. The ride is a little stiff but not bad enough to complain about. Course I don't drive the car everyday.

) 1.5-2 inches.

Your silver FC look nice with those rims flush on the body.
I know you have the following
Front = 17x8 235/40
Rear = 17x9 255/40
But what off set did you run?
Thanks

jesus christ people, DO NOT cut your freaking springs!
the rest of you, nice pics.
oh and as far as aftermarket springs are concerened, i wouldn't get anything that drops significantly more than an inch. the quality of those are questionable. coil-overs are the way to go...
also realize that if your stock springs and struts are worn, getting a 1 inch drop you may not notice any drop at all...

Tein Flex, car is pretty low but ground clearance is still very good.
235/45R17 on 17x8 +35 fronts
255/45R17 on 17x9 +35 rears
(the fronts just barely touch the coilover spring perches, gotta get a spacer in there)
I hope these pics arent too big....
