Fair statement, I don't know all that much on the subject. As I said though I was suprised by the difference in the sprint rates. Maybe using the word "huge" was the wrong word, either way I struggle to see what the problem is with that comment.... No need to go getting too carried away.

Rear is this way because it is now a true coilover type in the rear. Unlike the OEM when you normally run a much higher rate because of the positioning of the spring.
If you were to research other companies that offer a True coilovers type rear you will see something about identical.
I.E
Stance 12kg front 6kg rear (true type)

hahahahahahaha! Terra trying to clown, and ended up getting clowned. Honestly you had no reason to say sh*t to that guy. Why don't you explain.. what you think is up with the spring rate?

Front wheel rate is ___LB? Rear is ___LB?
What will the car handle like?
The typical spring for a 12k front would actually be a 5k rear mounted on the shock. I would fill in all the question marks, but I don't seem to have the suspension spreadsheets on my home computer.

But just because there is a 12kg front there is really no way to have a definite answer as what should be in the rear.
Everyone that has the suspension on their vehicle (ours and many other companies) seem to be doing just fine with the rates provided that are outside of your box of what the rear rate should be.

My bad, must have read over the "True Coilover rear" part of the ad. Never realised there was such a significant difference in spring rate required from an OEM style to a true coilover so i can safely say i learnt something today, so thanks.
I initially read it thinking it'd have a decent amount of understeer. Having read it again and having better understanding i'll pay more attention next time before/if I comment..... Back on topic.

Lots of specs within this that cant be seen because we arent the ones that engineered the shocks.

I would love to know how this works. So valving etc etc is going to effect wheel rate. I guess you can possibly band-aid crappy rates with damper adjustment, i don't know why you would want to do that.

I see what you did there!
First question I would ask is what tires are you running?
