NICE...
how's the spring rate on those??? I'm guessing that they're not as aggressive as the IPD's, Eibach, Vogtland, or Apex springs??? If I want something lower, I should go with the one of these brands and not the 850R correct?

I don't know the exact spring rate, but I know that the R springs are just a LITTLE stiffer than regular 850...better handling also than regular...the aftermarkets will be somewhat stiffer than the R springs...actually, mine are really stiff, but I guess I'll need to wait and break them in a litte!
