ya im totally aware of that, unless you were talking to alejo.

but ive had a ride in 2 AP1's, one with the KW and one with the RS and they both felt great.

I know the last gen RS's changed spring rates to like 10/12 or 12/10 for F/R. I got mine when they first came out.

I daily drive my SRC's which are 16k and they feel fine at the softest settings. I've done several 1000+ mile road trips on them and I had no complaints. Better than other coilovers with softer springs.

Vu... Can you take me for a spin in your car? I was thinking of getting SRC's cuz of the EDFC. I talked to Tein and they said they couldn't retrofit the RS for dual EDFC's...

If you think they are stiff I have a set of 8/8 replacement springs for the RS. I thought the 10/10 would be stiff but I like it.
