On the Megan coilovers the spring rates are too harsh for the streets I'm thinking of upgrading to swift can anyone recommend a certain spring rate for front and rear?

yea, have you adjusted the struts to soften them up? i find the spring rates quite soft, with mine set on like 10-12 clicks from the hardest setting, i find it almost compareable to stock, and definetly softer than the eibach springs and kyb struts i had before.
im sure if you call or email megan they will tell you what the spring rate of the coilover springs are, then use that to get a softer set of swift springs if your really sure the springs are your issue. do you have any other suspension mods like sway bars? i've found that sway bars really stiffen things up alot more than you'd expect. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
