Can't upgrade the spring rate on these cars without changing the damper to match.
The suspension is a system; the parts work with each other. Our cars are 'balanced' in stock form; the RFT's mate well with the stock suspension and no part stands out as a weak link relative to the others. Upgrade the spring rate and the dampers become the weak link or vice versa. So it is an all or nothing affair; you can't half-ass suspension upgrades. It gets expensive quickly.
