Removing air and some body work, trying to sell the red interior to go oem black leather to recoup some cash i need for other projects. Was trying to sell the car whole, not much interest and i didnt really wan tot get rid of it in the first place. But my wife dindt want me to get rid of it, and heck i didnt really want to get rid of it either, so just changing some things up. Going lower static, stock body work, stock interior. Just keep it smooth, sleek and low.
I just hope those 14/10s are stiff enough.
The car has pulled and radiused bodywork so tucking the wheels up on bigger bumps is not a problem, but i may go a bit more agressive than my current set up.
Im actually in love with Vincent shumais stepps 19s SSR Agle strusse's..trying to find a set that eithe rneeds relipping or a built set close to my specs.

looks good, and the spring rates are a matter of how low you want to be and your comfort level. I personally think 14/10 will be a nice compromise of comfort with stiffness. wheel/tire choice also is a factor in overall ride quality of the car.

My d2 bags rode very smooth, but i didnt ride super low, I did 80psi front, 45 rear (up to 70 with passengers) the ride was very soft, but I also didn't ride as low as I will be with these. I plan to have less than 0.5" gap between rim and fender. The body and wheel combo is perfect right now as it was setup to tuck wheels when bagged, so i can still ride it low and even if the wheels comp up they will just tuck in. Well see how they ride. Spoke with FnF they said going up to a 16k front 12 rear would be fine and have no impact on the shocks valving and longevity.

First, i need to go get me some 2x6 as right now i wont be able to get my hoists arms out from under it when i lower it.
