HKS Sport Springs
Ok, I didn't find much of anything by searching.
Does anyone have any experience with the HKS Sport Springs?
They have a nice moderate drop (0.6" front/0.8" rear). They are progressive rate springs, but appear to be stiffer than the usual suspects (Eibach, H&R) at rates of 360-420 lb/in fronts, 260-300 lb/in rears. This would put the "average" rate at 390/280, which sounds like what I want.
Thanks for your replies.

Yes, but I've got dibs..
I'm going to run them with Koni's or Bilsteins. They are too stiff for my stock base/touring shocks and may be too stiff for R1 shocks to properly control.

Ok, you guys got me. I'm picking up a set of HKS springs along with a PFC from Chuck tomorrow. It will be a while before I have the springs installed because I haven't even ordered my new Konis or Bilsteins yet. The springs came up at a very good very short term price from Chuck, so I'm getting them now...
