There's someone in the racing forum running IIRC 450ish lbs springs, said that it could probably handle a little more.

What's the deal on the helper springs when increasing the spring rate. Do you leave them alone, do you also increase them?; is there some kind of recommended ratio to keep between the rates on your coil springs and helper springs?

i installed pss9 coilovers this past weekend. i've got my fronts set to 8 and rears at 9 and its only slightly harsher than stock. going over abrupt bumps it hits a little harder but it seems to smooth out the more gradual bumps better than stock. and like others have said, you feel much more planted with them. my rear doesn't feel like its skipping around on tight corners. overall im very happy. im going to have to try out different damping settings when i get a chance but its a pain in the friggin ass getting to the driver side rear!
