#340 F, #550 R. I talked with ground control with how the car is setup / what I use it for, etc. I do not find them to be harsh at all - the bilstein escorts running similar spring rates were much harsher and I hated driving the car - now its great. I wanted something height adjustable that would be sporty but still driveable around town / long drives and I ripped out the rear torsion bars ages ago and was not putting them back in.

Konis just feel better to me, my E36 M3 has bilstein sports / "street" lowering springs and rides worse IMHO.

We supply 2.5" I.D. springs with this kit:

Certainly you could set it up for 2.25 but the 2.5" spring is less expensive...at least in the Hypercoil brand we supply with the kit. The shock mounts inverted so clearance hasn't been an issue.

Default 5325 v 5436

Anyone know the difference between the 2 Koni 30 series rear shocks. I'm currently using the 5325 with 700# springs, and there isnt enough rebound damping. Wondering if the 5436 would work better.

See pages 29 - 30. No experience with anything other than the 2812's so can't comment on the 30 series from personal experience. Per their datasheet though the 5426 does have some more rebound.
