    I tried for a new job last week, they filled it internally. It was a good fit, too.

    So would these be a good set, if specs are correct, to obtain a firmer ride without being too rigid? Front / Rear Spring Rate:175 / 205 lbs./in.

    Or what is the factory spring rate and are how much of an impact does a small change in spring rate make?

    I've seen those. If the front/rear rates were reversed, I'd take them, but those rears are far too stiff. It would make it feel like a truck.

    Edit: Apparently I was supposed to pay for return shipping and wait longer for the refund. During that delay, they changed their shipping to include a surface option, which was around $65. So, I went ahead and paid for that shipping method, and I'll be getting the springs in hopefully less than 60 days. The total was about $140, so it's still somewhat cheaper than full retail, and I was planning on waiting a while before installing them anyway to keep the warranty a bit longer.


    Update: They just arrived today, about 2 months after they shipped them out. Might have the alignment checked once more before installing them to use the warranty, but knowing my mod bug I may just end up installing them sooner.
