I'm just afraid to really mess up the cars amazing handling characteristics, but it needs to be dropped lol. I'm seeing many companies coming out with 7/7,8/8 for front and rear rates and can't help but wonder if this will retain the stock character. The stock ride is nice and stiff, so maybe a set of coilovers with similar rates to stock(maybe a bit higher) would be great? I'll wait and see before choosing coilovers and spring rate, hopefully a few write up on different rates and their behaviors will come along
