However, the adjuster nut is almost at the bottom of adjustment and the shock eye bush. The car is still higher than I would like it. BUT, it has the perfect spring rate for ever day driving as it’s my wife’s car.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I though the STD springs would be a little too long. But it was worth a try. The STD spring rate I think is 150lbs as per below chart.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So maybe 180lbs in a 1” lowered would be perfect. I guess the MK springs would be worth a go at 7.4” in height VS the 7.8”?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I have tried the Rimmer Brothers 200lb spring.
