Stance GR+ Pro's vs KTS

So I've narrowed my decision down to GR+ Pro's or KTS coilovers. Any one have there opinions on either of these coilovers? The main difference is the Pro's have helper springs on the rears which supposedly help out traction......I think. Anybody think the helper springs are even noticable, worth an extra $200? I could spend that money on rucas and toe arms.

What do you mean by mild sevens. I've never heard that term.

lol. Last time I smoked I woke up in the middle of the night having an asthma attack. So I just ordered gr+ only 61.75 more. Also got a decent deal on Cusco rucas $325.

Both are going to put you about in the same spot performance wise and both do pretty much the same things. Just a matter of personal preference. I am not sure what the spring rates are on each, but you may want to check that to see if one has more or less rear bias. More would be better for drifting but maybe not as good for grip. I believe they are very similar in over firmness.

I just recieved my GR+ in the mail. Along with SPL toe arms. Should be getting my cusco rucas today. I didn't think the helper springs was worth an extra $100. It's not like I loose that much traction with a 150 hp car anyway.
