Anyone else have these springs? DO you bottom out a lot and how's the ride?

IIRC they're pretty stiff. I'll try to remember to look up the rates when I get home.

Spring rates are 428/161 according to a website I found. Kinda soft in front and stiff in back.

According to that, they're about the same as BMR, just linear instead of progressive. That way you don't get that soft spot at the top of the spring. I read that Sam Strano recommends linear springs much more than progressive as well since he can design shocks for them much easier.

The ride is definitely not stock. A little stiff, but I've gotten used to it over the last 6 years. You can bottom out, but not bottom the springs just the car. It sits pretty low. I can only fit one finger between the top of the tire and fender.

I saw yours and I really like how your car sits. Do you have longtubes?

No. I didn't get longtubes just for this reason, as I don't believe they'd survive on public roads. My subframes have saved me many times. ;)
