Hello again y'all
So I've been reading about coilovers specifically because they seem like the best option all round despite being a bit more expensive but had a query about spring rates (like the title says)
It seems to be unanimous that you should run 8/10kg front to rear layout or similar (with swaybars) but almost every coil package I've looked at has had the opposite layout? Where the spring rate in the front will be higher due to I'm guessing the weight of the engine
Does that mean I just buy coils with a higher front spring rate and adjust them all round once they're on the car so that the rear becomes harder and front becomes softer?
Loving this website btw so much helpful info to get even from 3, 4 and 5 year old threads
Cheers again everyone <3

Thats why, a lot of us, we have purchased our C/Or's from Fortune Auto. They will custom assemble your order w/a spring rate suited for the EvO & your driving preference
