BR Racing Coilovers rear spring rate?

[X5Brian]

I searched and found a couple of people mention wanting to increase rear spring rate from 12k to 14k when going to the BR racing coilovers with swift springs. Wantig to see if anyone has tried the 14k rear swift springs and how they like or dislike it before ordering mine tonight. Thanks for the help everyone

I'm on Swifts but went 14/12k. I don't think the ride is too harsh or anything at all so I'd say you should be good.

I should also add I don't mind stiffer cars but just my two cents here.

Thank you !

We've talked before Brian but if you're going decently low stay clear of the stock spring rates. I'm on stock spring rates and although I don't bottom out much when driving alone. If I load the car down I bottom out much more at highway speeds.

So what do you suggest on spring rates (swift) 16k front and 14k rear? I'm not slamming it but will go low, would like only about an inch to 1.5 inch gap between tires if possible

I have 16k all around on extreme lows and it rides great, only have bottomed out once and I'm pretty low. Also keep in mind that higher springs rates won't compress as much so make sure to get the extreme lows to allow for further adjustability to the downside.

Is that swift springs or standard springs at 16k?
So extreme low kit helps prevent bottom out ?

Swift springs. I think combination of spring rate + swift springs prevents bottoming out.
