Default H&R question (no no problems :P) (Oh Bryannnn)

Does anyone think that H&R will do custom spring rates? and what a spring rate that is "soft"? or softer then what they come with? lol i love the feeling they are now, but now that i decided to try the "luxury" route wtih my car i feel that i cant really have a "luxury" feel when i can feel the road so much, i would rather have a really smooth ride and have good performance, especially seen as how i probably will never track the car. i would call them but they are closed

and im sure Bryan (2fast) will answer quickly hehe

Now I see why my ears were burning....

Short answer is "no". H&R spent a lot of time on developing those spring rates to provide a balance between comfort and street performance, so needless to say they aren't too forthcoming with additional spring rates. The springs are pretty dog-gone soft if you're going in straight line because they are progressive rate... my suggestion would be not to turn so much. Another trick would be to change your tires or tire inflation as those will affect spring rate as well. I had some HP street tires on my car recently (versus my usual Falken RT-615), and my tC felt like stock again. I don't know if you still have the KDWs on your tC, but those will affect how the car feels; also, the coilovers take a little over a month to break in.
