What are your spring rates on the coils?

525/700. Perfectly DDable

575f/800r is what I'm on and it's a bit stiff for the DD duties (~90 miles 5 days a week). How often do you cringe about your oil pan? ;)

And the Bilsteins handle those rates just fine?

I have a good impact every couple if weeks. Luckily its on the rear side of the plate by the subframe where its strongest. I've been dragging it on my gravel driveway too lately. Smash yours yet?

Yeah, stupid hard. Construction zone with steel plates on the road. I drove at the last minute around a ninja plate and ended up in two grooves with a huge hump of concrete in the center. Thought I tore the car in half. Pulled over at a gas station not 200ft from where it happened and it was just the skid plate that was fuckered up. Had to take it off, beat it out and re install. Haven't since but I also brought the nose up a good 3/4 of an inch.

No really. They don't really feel strong enough. Not horrible though so I don't expect to change shocks unless I shorten my housings.

Something for the somewhat near future.
