I read this review:

Noticing that the spring rates on the preferred Ohlins (4/3) and KW (6/7) are quite a bit lower.

I hear the people saying raise it up. I have actually raised it up and it made no difference. I don't really understand if coil-overs are wound lower.. the spring still has the same amount of travel why would it make a difference raising it? I'm not bottoming out, it just rides harsh.. even going really slowly over cracks in the road I can feel them.

- Edit just read the above posts. I have wondered if something is wrong with my setup from previous owner. Perhaps the preload or the shocks ruined. Perhaps I should get someone to check it out first. I do hear most people with BC-Gold coils say that they are harsh.
8k springs are very high for these cars. That's into the territory of 86s with decent downforce.
