He runs soft spring rates cause he drags the car, but they're only a step below mine. I've also heard from a friend who is a fortune dealer they've gone downhill recently and he almost doesn't recommend them to people anymore.
The car isn't perfect but I'm very happy with where its gone and been through. Honestly I don't know what a good set of coilovers feels like. Other than the S14 I drive the STI around and its super comfy. Driving the S14 sucks as far as being bouncy and I'm at a 10k/12k spring rate. Honestly believe I just don't know how to properly setup my suspension yet but I'm not complaining because on flat ground the S14 is great and the car is also super low. Bay Area roads tend to be rocky at times tho.
