296 Ksport
220-224* Tein SS

The numbers above are how much weight in pounds that it takes to compress the spring by 1 inch.(lb/in) The Teins would technically be softer.

You might just have to go with springs. Coilovers are going to be noticeably stiffer than stock, even lowering springs.

if you order ksports coilovers, you can whatever spring rate you want with no extra charge. just don't complain when you scrape or bottom out riding around lowered with softer springs
