Thread revival!
I'm about to get coilovers and hesitating between spring rates. These coilovers come stock for the 06sti with 6kg/5kg f/r... Going to up them a bit for my use... What's a better combo 8/6 or 8/7 ... was thinking 8/7 to keep them within the same f/r kg difference as the off the shelf unit. This coilover's full racing unit with external reservoir comes with 10/8 and the soft street version 6/5 .... thought 8/7 is good middle ground?

I did mate... but suspension shop know tyres/wheels and then their own brand of coilovers more...didn't seem to know much in terms of spring rates for these ones.
Its just a general query in that post, as in if one's racing springs were 10/8 and soft street were 6/5, then would 8/7 be a good middle ground or 8/6... anyway I don't think anyone would have the right answer for me, I'm just going to have to try it. Edit: AU distributor/supplier said go with 8/7 as it keeps a similar f/r spring ratio as the stock 6/5 but that's just 1kg off the rate of the racing version rears....might go 8/6, probably be a bit easier to live with.

I vote for 8/7. Kw is 7/5, my std is 8/8, feel a bit boucy at the rear though, stock betty is 4/3, new sti is 5.5/5. I think subaru has 65/35 weight distribution, unless u go track days with lots of weight teansfer, front should be higher by 1 or 2, is this right?
But each shock is normally shock dyno tested with matched spring rate. If u change spring rate, u might not get the performance u r after. using the Perth-WRX mobile app

He would have seen a fair share of Subaru's coming through the door with an array of suspension setups. I've run HSDs in the past with either 7/7 or 8/8 and now run 6/6 (non coilover setup).
