Anyone change to different length/spring rates on ground controls? I searched, saw that auto-x-phil ran stiffer rears, but I didn't find many others. The contour gc kit appears to come with 525 fronts and 280 rears, I haven't installed them yet, but I was curious to see if anyone has played around with other springs.
 
Is there a particular ride characteristic you are looking for?

somebody on newcougar has put a 550 in the rear and he said it was like he had the st-200 strut brace in the back. he was quite pleased and i will be doing the same as i cannot mount a strut brace in the back due to me bein younger and dumber and thinkin i didnt need that metal that it mounts too cuz i wanted a 9 cubic foot sub box to fit. i dont recall his name though.
