Im also on 8k all around, full soft on the dampening, sure its not comfy in bumpy roads/pot holes, but slapping the car left and right is tight on rails.

Just my 2 cents :D

So if I order the megans I'll just have to order special springs I assume

Keep in mind, I have a sedan (don't know if that makes a difference at all)
I want something that can take me thru bumpy roads and potholes without me having to call 1-800-chiro-practor

Also, what's the point of getting higher spring rates if you're just gonna put the dampening on the softest? Wouldn't that be the same as.. let's say 6k with the dampening in the middle?

I love the back of my car, the front... not so much

To add ^
I'm not worried about my own comfort. I'm worried about the comfort of everyone else who gets in my car.

If it was just me, living on my own, I would have got Megan 8k all around and slammed my car

I wish I knew my current spring rate, it would make everything a whole lot easier

No, I'm on some cheapo ebay springs called "lotek" and the sell only said that they are 'about' 20% stiffer than stock

I've only heard of people needing/using/wanting adjustable socks for track use. For everything else it's a bit of a nuisance
