Hey guys, another quick question before I do go ahead and buy something.

Has anybody opted to go for a softer spring rate on HSD coilovers, if so what did you go with?

I think 8kg is the standard supply, I was thinking of going with something around 5-6kg for a bit more comfort while still keeping some stiffness there. A supplier can get me anything from 8 to 3 so this is the last question I need to ask before buying.

Thanks for the help as always.

I have HSD HR's, dunno what they come with standard, but they are pretty stiff, even on the softest setting.

Thanks for your info American Dave, just put my order in for HSDs with 7kg springs. By all accounts on the internet, the 1kg lighter springs on HSDs make them plenty comfortable to say they are coilovers.

Another purchase down!
