Okay I am planning on getting coilovers soon. And I have been looking at the BC coilovers. Now the only problem that I have encounter, is what spring rate should I get?
I would like to have some comfort in the ride where it is not painful to ride on the road. And I am planning on going low after I shave the fenders and stretch the tires. So for those who have them, please tell me which spring rate you picked and the overall ride of the coils.
Thanks guys

I just installed mine and I got the softest setting with 8K/6k and the ride is still pretty harsh, but I love it then again I live in NY and the roads are awful, so if ur roads are ok u can settle for something a little stiffer like maybe a 14k

Just installed mine too but i've got the 10K/8K on mine and for me it drives perfect not to sporty at all just a bit stiffer then the stock shocks with Tanabe DF210's that were on. On the scale of 0-30 i drive at 8 and that's where the BCR set came on. The only problem i have is that the BCR set go's lower then i can drive in Europe.

I went with 12k front/10k rear and I've been pretty happy with them. I had them on the stiffest setting for a couple months and it was nice and firm, but tended to skip over rough road surfaces. I then had them on the softest setting and they were only slightly underdamped for my spring rates. About 10 clicks from softest seem to be the best compromise. I have been happy with them for the price. The quality of damping is not very good, but since they don't make KW variant 3s for our cars that I know of I figured I'd settle for a decent bargain pair and have been fairly pleased. They have a very nice fit and finish to them and look good.
