You can choose the spring rate that you desire for the K Sport coil overs which is very appealing to me.

Japan made vs. Taiwanese

I'll take the established brand from japan.

And with the choose your own rates, do they actually change the damping on the shock? Or just different springs?

Mike the dampening depends on what spring rates you choose. You also have some leeway with dampening as to how tight you lock-in your springs.

Weight wut.

That's not what I was talking about, at least I think not.

How to match spring and shock rates? - DSM Forums


EDIT: I don't like that link.

What I'm asking is:

Do they revalve the shock to match your specific spring rates? Do they provide shock dynos to prove they do so? Or is it just:

Quick grab some springs and put in this box.
