[QUOTE="2DXTRM, post: 16547587, member: 76471"] No, I'm not the only one. There are quite a few out there that have expressed their views about it. I'm picky with how my car rides on the street. What pissed me off was the guessing game with spring heights and rates with the Koni SA shocks, even with calling places like MM (8 inch or 7 inch, 550 or 650 lb springs). Switched shocks to the OEM Bilstein coupe shocks and coil-overs with a lighter spring (475), still wasn't happy. I have hundreds of dollars in springs brand new in boxes that I cant even get rid of. Had enough of the BS. What really sealed the deal for me to go back to a stock location spring was looking at the setup on the FR500 concept car. The front SLA suspension was where all the business was. Rear IRS not much of a change from factory, stock location spring. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate with the KWs, or I would keep it simple with coil-overs upfront (Koni or Bilsteins) and stock location spring (even some kind of height adjustable)/shock in the rear. I actually used the Griggs GR40 C/C plates with the previous setup. They have a nice pyramid design and were 3 bolt. I'm not sure if they even make them anymore. However, I'm not concerned about the 3 bolt plates on the KW, as they are steel. [/QUOTE]
