Combination of both. My car is still a daily driver with track day duties, so I can't go all out.

Some streets in Toronto are f**king brutal.

Oh, and my bad, typo on my part, I'm using 400/650 springs.
The KW V2's are linear in the front and progressive in the rear. Now I've got linear springs all the way around.

GC sent me Eibach's for the rear with their own GC coilover perches and H&R's for the front to be used with the V2's helper springs.

These springs are already a bit stiffer than what the V2's are, and going too stiff would be bad for the shocks.

My goal was just to spend as little as possible and get the spring rates more in line with what I'd like out of the car.
