Just wondering what sort of rear spring rates people are running as I feel mine are way too soft. I have the BC Racing coilover kit while the front is fine, the back feels like it could do with stiffening up. The dampers are on the hardest setting but still not stiff enough. I'm running rotor grid wheels and they are close to the arch so everytime i corner hard or hit a sharp bump the rear scrubbs really bad.
The rate of my rear springs is 12kg (672 ibs) Is this a stiff spring to run for an e30 or not? It was what was recommended when i bought them!
What spring rates are you guys running?
