    Has anyone increased their spring rates on a 1.5" drop?

    I was just curious how many have gone with teh stiffer spring kits and how did you like them? I want to order some, bu will wait until I can buy shocks, too.

    if you gonna lower the car, you are better off increasing the spring rate... because you have less suspension travel. without that extra spring rate, you'll end up bottoming out.
    I have spring rate twice the stock one, and the car is more confortable than stock... that is achieved through proper shock setup.

    The first springs I ever changed to were 1LE's so I had increased the spring rate prior to any drop at all.
