    I think he went to 700s not sure though.

    @2BeersPlease

    I like my 550s, but I think they're a tad soft. I think 600s would be nicer. They were definately too soft with 700lb of passengers in the front....

    Or I should just man up and get superbumps?Care to comment @jberry813?

    There was a good conversation about it in the first gen section a few days ago. There was a good video about it. I cant find it now. Because Want to find the perfect spring that gives you enough lift but depresses relatively easy. My coilovers right now have such a rough rebound. I think going down to a 650lb 14" and a better valving well be very helpful.

    He went 700's.

    your crazy, shoulda stuck with standard length if you were going 700's. IMO.

    wait, isn't the standard length 14" ?

    Im not sure. Icons come with 13". My rebound is harsh AF right now with the 700's.

    Seems like 700# coils would be a little much for a first gen.

    The 600# coils? You might find them little squishy. They're great around town, but a little too soft on the rocks for my liking.

    Better than my 550s

    I do actually like my 550s, they're nice and soft when it's me or me and one passenger, but I had 700lb or so of passenger weight last weekend and it was a lil sketch.

    are your Kings 2.5
    If so they should just with a shorter spring you'd have a little more thread exposed, but you could see if you like the rate

    Now I'm in a conundrum. I think I'll try out @2BeersPlease 600s and see how it goes. I appreciate the offer though @foxrcing07. I'd like the red better too....

    They'll probably be fine if you have your sway bar on.
