the spring rates were18/10 if you wanted custom spring rates youd have to wait a while because it would have to ship from japan.

im really not that familiar with the spring rates stuff, but think about it the kei office coilovers are a lot stiffer so i hear and the ride will rattle the teeth out of your head. so something like that would not be suitable for daily driving. i am happy with the 18/10 setup, i can hang hairpins at like 40 mph and stay pretty flat with only a hint of body roll. i know 40 mph isnt that fast but hey im still getting used to the new sus. just get the 18/10 + trd sway bars and maybe some floor braces or a strut bar and you should be able to have a drift machine that is still suitable and comfortable enough for daily driving. ps. a weight reduction wouldnt hurt either.
