BC Racing coilovers - spring rate query

[Josh42]

Hi All,

Looking to replace my HSD dualtech’s with a set of BC BR RA coilovers.

 

There are 3 options for spring rate listed:

 

14/8

14/10

16/12

 

Can anyone recommend which to plump for on a street/occasional light track use car?

 

My current HSD’s are 14/10, but wondered if there was any benefit to stepping outside of this with the BC’s?

 

Thanks,

Josh

Aren't they very firm ? my Eibach springs i thought were more than good enough for fast road and track days and

were also progressive

 

6.6-9.1 kgs front and 3.2-4.6 kgs rear

Ive been through 3 sets of coilovers with 3 spring changes alone on my latest setup, how are the hsds on 14/10? for more road use i`d probably go 14/8 as the softer rear will give you more grip, if doing more track especially on an R tyre or slicks go 16/12.
