I have DDMs with the stock rates which is something like 550f/350r. Maybe just these are soft or its NJ roads but the front is still soft if you wanna run an aggressive stance. Come spring I think I will order new stiffer springs for them.

your problem is you dont quite understand suspension theory
your ride isnt determined by your spring, its determined by your shock/strut. Your spring only indicates how much force is needed to change the position of the body of the car vertically. The damper settings (I.E. Valving) determines how fast it compresses, and rebounds both determining your ride.
unless you revalve your shocks, buy good shocks, or whatever its going to be bumpy as fuck
even if you buy coilovers, you can only go 2k + or - from the one on there to stay in the supposed damper curve. most of the suspension i use you can send in for spring change and valve matchingDisclaimer:

im runnin 600/850 and i still rub like crazy and it not too harsh for me, to be honest it feels exactly the same as the 350/450 i had before but then again im on shitty koni shocks.. thinkin bout goin to 850/1050 and pairing that up with better shocks..
all this talk about spring rates and no shocks? whats a good shock/strut to buy? what specs do we need to look for as far as that goes?

Also how hard is it to piece together your own coilover setup? Is it cheaper then already made setups? Whats involved? I still haven't touched my e36's suspension, but that's just because I'm contemplating keeping my e36 or e24. I'm aware I would need to go custom with the e24 as I don't know of any off the shelf coils for that.
Anyways any info is appreciated on mine and others' questions. I'm a noob with suspension and any info helps.
