im currently running eibach pro kit with bilstein sports which is shit!!:curse: the bilsteins are still good and i dont really have enough money to replace them and my springs..i do however have enough to buy GC slip overs. the spring rates i would like to run would be close to what the ie3 springs rates are. (was going to run those but i dont need to say anythign else) i was thinking a little stiffer though .like 400 and 600. would those be ok with my shcoks or should i stay closer to the ie3 rates? car is a daily/weekend whore so im willing to sacrafice handling for ride quality. is not a big deal to me since my lifted wrangler on 35s was daily for 2 years..anyways any help would be great guys. thanks in advance:D

Off the shelf Bilstein sports probably wont be enough if you will be running 400/600. It might be a little bouncy. I would try to go closer to the IE rates. And also, you know that GC's are linear so the rate is the same the whole time. IE3's are progressive so at first they are soft and get stiffer as they compress.

thanks for the input guys. im thinking 325 to 350 and 550 should be ok then.?.? and yes im aware its a linear spring. one of the main reasons i decided to go with GC.
