Keep in mind that the RSR springs are the stiffest and among the lowest drop you can get for performance springs.

Estimated Front Drop - 35mm(1.4in)
Estimated Rear Drop - 25mm(1.0in)
Front Spring Rate - 5.00kg(279lbs)
Rear Spring Rate - 4.20kg(235lbs)

Thanks for the advice koukie. I figured if I wanted to go as stiff as Ground Control, then I'd might as well just go for coils(though the same could be said for any spring/shock combo for that matter). The only potential road "friendly" coilovers I've read about so far are the Stance LX/GR+ Pro, Tein Flex, Dmax, and Cusco. The people who bought them for the most part said that they road nicely or like stock on the softest settings, but it may be untrue with the roads around here.
