Yeah I should have known better after the first one.

I have BC's. I have the 12/10 springs and they are plenty stiff for me. Despite the bad rap they got at first because of the rattle issue I like them allot. Cant beat them for the price IMO.

do you think 14/12 would be annoying on a daily? are you coming to the gville meet? i wouldnt mind getting a ride to see how stiff 12/10 is.

IMO the 14/12 would be overkill. I will probably be able to make the gville meet so ok if I do.

k well now you have to come since you have the 12/10. what setting do you run them at? im trying to decide if 14/12 on lowest for the street or 12/10 and highest at the track, you know?

Good question. I am set in the middle for dd. You might be able to run the 14/12 and the softest setting and be ok for dd. I have not tracked my car but have run them at full stiffness on a couple of the poker runs. I also have sways and upper strut bar though.

i know its tough to quantify but how jarring was the 12/10 at full? and you think it was sufficient for pushing your car all out?

dan gave me some good advice - it will be cheaper to get 12/10 springs once i get the 14/12 than revalve the 12/10 if i wanted to go 14/12.
