yea im not a huge fan of the rb springs, their spring rate is heavy because the car stays flat for the most part in autocross. i like the look of it, but i wish it functioned better. thats why the vmaxx coilovers look appealing, i can be sitting where i am now and have a nice suspension under the car.

The FM spring rates are much higher than the RB spring rates. The RB rates aren't high at all from what their posted lbs/in numbers are on their site.

The NB Bilsteins paired with the NB tophats and hardware would really be nice for a daily driver at anyone's age. The worn out stockers made my car miserable. Bilsteins are comfy with either stock springs or a RB or FM spring upgrade. I'm getting too old for crappy uncomfortable rides too.

I got a chance to ride in FM v-maxx yesterday. It's not a bad street ride at all imo.

This is one of those to each his own questions. I was not saying I don't like the vmax we installed some on a friends dedacated autocross car and installation was easy. And they seemed nice, we will be trying them out at the autocross on the 13th.
