[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 7987194, member: 51847"] In that case I would recommend relatively soft C/O spring rates which probably won't give you much if an improvement in handling. If you try and run some stiff C/O's on the factory shocks you will be overworking them. I'm sure some people might say that "well I've done it and it worked ok" and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but its not the best idea. With C/O's you are reengineering part of your suspension. Your shock and strut towers will now be supporting the full weight of your car, etc. If all your looking for is a drop with the factory shocks, and you plan on using your car mainly for DR I would just look at some lowering springs or cut the factory ones. Stiff C/O's defanently make the tires break easier as they don't let as much weight transfer front and rear. [/QUOTE]
