well if you want the stiffer spring and not going for major low you want the 7k if you wanna go low and dont mind the soft spring got for the 5k, you can also adjust your dampener on the shock all the way to stiff , see if that helps with your 5k springs

Bcs have a nice spring rate, but just aren't as low in the rear. I bought stance rear springs for mine. Well see how that goes.

Ya I stiffened the rear to the Max and it made it a lot better. The front is stiff no matter what lol, so far I love them tho my car feels much better then with lowering springs, I'll probably drop the front a tad more and be good

Most tire shops are retarded. I know that when I had my G6 lowered they wouldn't align it... however I had to cut the frame and sub frame a bit..

Im always so **** (no homo) about bringing my car to the dealership and/or shop because dumbfucks at a Chevy dealership scraped the **** out of my exhaust when it was on coils. I threw a fit and they are still trying to make it up eventhough I dont have the car anymore. I hate anyone but myself driving my car

So I've been playing with dampening a lil to see the difference. So far it seems like the front is super stiff no mater what and the rear not so stiff even set to full stiffness, that sound about right? Lol

Do you only need those when fully slammed in the front?

This is how mine sits, not as low as all of yours
