KW V2 Spring rates

Hey everyone!

I am building my cobalt up for the autocross class of STX and i picked up a new set of KW V2s. I wanted to see if anyone knew what spring rates they came with? I tried asking KW and didnt get an email back.

any help would be great!

agreed, pedders/konis seem to be the best performance choice of our customers.

They do for the rears, but the fronts are their own.

Only because there's no better option at the moment. I wouldn't put them on the list of must-do. Sway bar and Konis come first, IMO.

swift springs are cheap and V2s arent that bad a price. mod list this winter is sways, KWs, wheels and tires.
