The problem with running extremely stiff springs with those type dampers is that you really reach the limit of their adjustability. Custom valved is $$$$

I dunno... in my quest to put together a less expensive suspension, I've decided to forego height adjustability, and I actually want lower spring rates than that, so the priorities at work are a bit different.

Once you consider the cost of a good set of camber plates, you're starting to push beyond that $1000 budget. Bolts are cheap, but you can't adjust "on the fly" - you need a full alignment every time you want to change the setting.
