I'm thinking of getting KW V3 for my VII. What spring rate should I get?
Someone mentioned on this thread that in here (Australia), it comes with 9kg(f) and 7kg(r). I've read that it's recommended to have higher spring rate at the back on awd car.

So thinking of swapping them around. Or I can leave it as it is, and install rear swaybar, since swaybar and spring work together.

What do you guys think? Any other suggestion? I don't really want anything stiffer.
