GP Sports Coilover questions?

Hi everyone, I been looking into getting the GP sports coilover, but the spring rate on them are 12/f and 10/r, is that too stiff for a daily driver and weekend drift car?? Does anyone have any experience w/ them?? Or, would you guys recommand going w/ some JIC FLT-A2 instead since the dampening is adjustable and the spring rate is 7/f 5/r?? Any advice will be appreicated!! thanks


BTW sorry if I post in the wrong forum, but I know you guys are the most knowledgable here, thanks!!

I have ordered the GP sports coils after alot of reaseach they are waht i wanted the are extremly hard and are a full race setup. my car is going away from strret driving as my gaol with it so they are a logical step. They also cause extreme amounts of camber.

The JIC FLT-A2 are great and i would recomend those to anyone if i hadnt oredered my GP sports i would have bought them.

I am goign to do a full write up on them after i have them on for a week and i will let you all know how the GP sports work.

Zeal B6 are great, i have the hard spec (8k/6k) and find that it is still really good for the street, i thought it was stiff the first week, but after i got used to it i want something stiffer like Zeal super functions
