I have a question to ask, not sure if its been posted here, but i am kinda lazy to read thru all the pages..

Am looking to change my current setup to a REALLY comfortable coilover setup and based on a fellow forummer's review and a well made video review, i have been led to believe that RS*R Black-i is the way to do (for my budget).

"More comfortable than the stock setup" has been mentioned a couple of times in the review of the Black-i vs Sports-i vs the something else-i.

My question is:

The Black-i has a spring rate of 7F/7R while the sports-i (supposedly less comfortable) has a spring rate of 6F/7R. While i believe the dampers are tuned differently, can a coilover with a stiffer spring rate really be that much more comfortable??

Isnt the role of the springs to absord the shock??

Sorry for the long ass question, i am really picky about ride comfort. It must be softer and more compliant that stock setup!

Thanks!!
The Sport-i is what you want; the black-i is for slamming the car. PM us for a quote
