Eibach Prokit Spring Weight Question
I have a question on the stock sportline springs vs eibach prokit sport sprinss. Looks like the spring weights are quite close to stock when not compressed. Am I reading that right? See below:
http://performance-suspension.eibach...012-13_pro-kit FRONT: OE rate: 29 N/mm (160 lbs/in) Pro-Kit rate: 28-54 N/mm (159-310 lbs/in) REAR: OE rate: 85 N/mm (485 lbs/in) Pro-Kit rate: 86-104 N/mm (491-594 lbs/in) Does that mean the pro kit rate of 159 lb/in is same as stock with the 160 lb/in rate when not compressed? And when compressed, pro kit is 310 lb/in vs just the 160 lb/in. A bit confusing...

not sure if that is a bad thing haha... not many people are running eibachs. most go for h&r sports. im torn as i dont want a harsh bumpy, bottoming out right ha. want it a tad lower without doing coilovers.

H&R are also progressive. Eibach will most likely give you a better ride over the H&R, but then also less sporty.
