Nothing adjust spring rates, your talking about preload.

I just got a question on coilovers, which ones are you guys using???????

This is my car on 17x9 +35 rpf1's, with 275/40s, yes I know, it doesn't belong on this thread





I'm on koni yellows and htechs, this was lowered using PS, hence the question.

^Ceaser. Definitally go with the Stance GR+.

One of the best coilovers for the Price out right now.

The lowest offset for that size rim is +22, which would look even sicker than that pic

Actually with the standard offset the lowest is +12, but with Grams you can get custom offsets.

@imput, yeah looked around and noticed that. that's why, i'm pretty sure those rims aren't +35. anyway....

Sometimes when profiling into or out of steep steep driveways the fronts will lock up from hitting the inside portion of the bumper, but that's it.
Hipermax rs is soft? IDK, but you really just inspired me seriously, your 8 is sick. You have a fender roll right, or just modded a little?
