When you slam a car you have to up the spring rate to keep you off the bump stops and even that might not work so no comfortable and slammable don't belong in the same sentence.
With the flexes you don't have to change your spring rate to lower or raise them. You can adjust them at the lower pearch where they mount to the suspension arms.

yeah I heard spring rates don't change now matter how low u go on some coilovers. Well Imma get some coilovers anyways because I wanna drop my ride a tiny bit more. I don't mind the stiffer ride as long as it's not too stiff, the roads here are pretty smooth anyways.

They are indeed the purple d2's. The ride is fairly decent. I have it set to hard all of the way around, so it's a pretty stiff/bumpy ride. I don't really know if "slammed + comfort" can really even happen. Surprisingly, it still handles like a go-kart how it sits.

It'll be raised up because I have 17x8/9's and an OEM ap2 lip on the way. If you know J.Nguyen, it'll basically sit like his in terms of low.
