I was wondering why my coilovers took a long time to get in. Lol. I didnt know they had to match the valves with the spring rates! I was gonna ask if i could jus get stiffer spring rates for my system. But it probably wouldnt ride as smooth compared to what it is now. N YES! The ride is real comfy! I think my daughters will love the smooth ride compared to my old ebay coil sleeves on my teggy! Lol!

How is the ride with a stiffer spring rate with matching valves? Is it bouncey?

I wanna run my wheels flush to the fenders n have a low stance! But i think with the 8k in the rears are too soft! My tires rub jus the way it is. If i was flush, i think id mess up the fenders n wheel lip.

lol! my lip is pretty much licking the messed up fenders...and to be honest...since i wanted to ride low...i wasnt thinking about comfort...i just wanted to do whatever it takes to ride low lol....once you get to those spring rates and valving...its not as comfortable lol...but everyone knows i have been running coils since 07 so im used to things falling apart haha...
