UPDATE: after getting help and opinions from everybody i decided to go with BC racing coilovers with a soft spring rate 8/6k because my car does not like NY roads, so to make the bumps and potholes, a little more bareable i went with the softer setup. I will be posting pics soon, I wont be putting them in until March, going to wait till weather(winter ends) settles down cant wait!!

I wish i would have gone with higher spring rates. What are my options at this point?
i run 22K/20K

soft suspension sucks

On that set up Bippy147 On my way home I would brake my back and definitely brake something else lol, that set up would just be to harsh for me, I hope that the car will handle better at higher speeds, it should right?

My car actually rides and handles better at high speeds,than lower speeds.

For what you're looking for, I would recommend 14K fronts, 10K rears in Stance or HSD.

Can't wait to see them fitted on your car. I went through the same tough decision you did months ago, now I wait to install mine.
