Hi all,
I currently have Whiteline Control Springs with stock struts on my daily driver 2006FXT. I absolutely hate this combo. Way too soft for my liking. The springs are softer than I'd like and the struts may be shot as after going over a bump I get some extra bounces.
I'd also like to lower my vehicle some more. Maybe an 1.5" in addition to the 1"+ drop from the Whitelines. My hope is that the drop alone would improve handling as it would lower my center of gravity.
I also want to go a bit stiffer.
My local performance shop is recommending BC Racing Coilovers. From what I have read here, I would want a custom spring rate. I've seen 7k/5k listed though I really don't know how these relate to my current springs or how stiff they will be. I am worried that I'd be going too stiff on the springs (or too soft).
Any thoughts? I know that comments here are completely subjective. Some years back I had a 2000 VW GTi VR6. I had H&R Sport springs with Bilstein HD shocks. I absolutely loved this setup. A few folks thought that the ride was a bit rough, but I thought it was perfect.
Thanks.
