So my coils came in yesterday and they are different springs rates for front and rear. I thought they were 12 and 12. How will this effect my my ride?

On the packing sheet it says

spring front- 200l x 10KG
Spring Rear 180l x 12kg

I wont really affect anything. If you have driven an AP1 the rear spring rates were higher that the front. You might have to play with the compression and rebound settings to get it felling the way you are most comfortable. I suggest starting from the softest setting and working your way to stiffest. I think most people run a softer setting in the rear and a stiffer setting in the front.
