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?

he does have the coilover. the regular and first megan coilover that came out for our car. that has the maroon colored top mounts and what not.the spring rates for these are quite stiff for daily at 10k and 8k rear... right.

Even if he does. Maybe he just didn't know there's damper levels? Levels are 1-32, 1 being "S" which is soft and 32 being "H" which is the stiffest. Mine is set at 24 but that's because I'm riding low and like to ride stiff and not bottom out.
