Back from the dead... What is your opinion on comfortable daily driven spring rates? Im looking into ksport coilovers that have 7/392 front and 5/280 rear, seems way stiffer than my tein springs, but the question is: since i have kyb that are not a good match for tein springs, will i feel more comfortable as far as driving over railroad tracks etc. with these coilovers at those spring rates with softest dampening setting? how will comfort of that compare to kybs+teins springs ? Thanks!
