I sent mark a txt asking what they changed. My springs are high enough rates where the helpers are pointless but I've been too lazy to remove them.

Talked to Mark, they will make an official statement today on the subject so I won't expand on what's already been said.

That is true. But in anticipation, I just removed the coilovers. Didn't expect stock to feel so good lol.

Actually @Hanakuso did you get a chance to drive your car? And if so any improvements felt?

So is the 6" for the front and 7" for the rears? I just got my springs in.
