I do not think that spring rate is the whole story as far as harshness on the road. I think it owes more to the valving of the shocks. I actually think my car is LESS harsh w/ the coilovers as opposed to the Prokits, because it isn't crashing over dips and undulations anymore. Koni yellows don't have alot of compression force, and i think they need the stiffer springs.

I'm pretty hot on the rates i have!!

i have the prokits thru pettit...they advertise progressive rates.

Pettit used to have their lowering springs made for them by eibach to their own specs... so were PFS's old blue progressive units.

Not sure about yours, but i do know that they are often advertised as progressive because most of the prokit line is, though the particular FD application isn't.

In any case, i think you can actually use stiffer springs than you realize without a horrible ride.
