Yes, I went w/ what the guy recommended

The spring rate the guy recommended was 150. I wanted 175's but he said they would be too stiff and the 150's would work well. Here's what they look like with the weight of the car on them at the ride height my car is set at.






The coils are def compressed too much. As you can see, there's barely any room between the coils. So I bought a set of 14 by 200's from Strange. Hopefully, the'll go in next week.
