KTS Coilover on FD

anyone here running the KTS Coilovers on the FD?

http://www.kts-web.com/overseas/prod...r/c/db_00.html

These seems to have pretty good reviews from the s13/s14 crowds but I would like to hear some feedbacks of these on an FD...... for some reason, their FD application uses 12kg rates front and back...... aren't these rates a little high?

I would submit that 12k is too stiff for street use. I currently am running 10k and 8k and, in my opinion, it is almost too stiff for the street. Is there a chance you can change the springs to something a little softer?

You can do a search in the suspension/wheels/brake forum and you can find tons of info on coilovers, etc. There are a lot of good contributors on the topic, but Howard Coleman comes to mind right away. Good luck.

12k might be a little rough for street use, there was a huge thread in suspension forum with Howard Coleman naming a bunch of coilovers and springrates and his opinions on them.
