Ah i was planning on picking up PBM coils last week but last week i got a deal that i *WOULD BE* stupid to pass on. i ended up going stance since it was basically half the price of the pbms and pretty much brand new.

custom spring rates are only for the s-chassis guys. really you wouldnt need such softer spring rates on our cars. you'd be surprised that megan spring rates arent too far off from comp coilovers from part shop max.
our cars are heavy and have such a long wheel base, theres a reason the spring rates are those numbers. stance/ megan track/ psm comp coilovers all run pretty close around 18-16kg front and 16-12kg rear.
on a side note, im selling mine as type this.

i just got some installed them today. we put the coils so the ride height would be high as it could safely go (with out ripping off the thread) and it was still SLAMMED. the tires cambered in and the car wouldnt even roll. it still had like 3 inches to go. I called PBM and they said maybe i need thinner tires? i dunno, but it was not drivable. im thinking of just getting the skinniest tires i can fit on my wheels and try again?
they sure are pretty though.

^deff not. i was on 18's with my pbms for awhile at a high height(about 2.5-3 finger gap) and i still had room to go to maybe 3.5 finger gap.
if those guys wheels dont fit he needs to get to rolling! its gonna happen eventually. also the coilovers dont come preloaded maybe he messed them up....??? a possibility for the saggy-ness maybe?
btw I love my PBM's

yeh, we set the ride height to as high as it would go (to where we thought it was at a safe enough point to not rip the threads completely, and seperating.) Got no pics, and im in Orlando right now. rpb= royal palm beach?
