And that includes leaving both at their "track" settings (since I am usually too lazy to change to a "street" setting before leaving the track).

PLEASE do not misread that as saying they are Cadillac-plush comfortable! But if you are not satisfied with the stock KW spring rates, these are a better choice from a comfort (as well as a performance) perspective than slapping higher spring rates on KWs (imo).

Just my 2 cents, depending on what people's reasons are for wanting lower spring rates.

Great to know thanks! Yeah I actually am looking at running lower spring rates because no matter how good the dampers, 16kg just isn't really an option on many of the roads I like to drive, but I would love to have a damper than can hander higher spring rates for the track if I decide to go that route. Great dampers on mountain roads make the car more fun to drive in every single situation. Braking into a bumpy corner, catching a bump mid-corner, so on and so forth. I would rather compromise my track driving with softer spring rates and higher ride height rather than make it more difficult and dangerous to drive in the mountains.

I think 10-12kg would be ideal and wouldn't limit me as much on the roads I want to drive. If I end up with some extra cash available I may just have to bight the bullet and be the guinea pig on a SRC street setup.
