the stance website says cold wound linear springs but I think intense motorsports says progressive springs for oem style

Linear, rear spring used in the kit does not have coils that bind and the spring does not change coil diameter. A spring can also be progressive by altering it's wire diameter, but that not something we see being used and certainly NOT in the price point we're talking about.

Bigger question is why do you need a setup that uses spring rates that high? Though I would support a oem setup vs true.

So it is Linear, good. What's wire diameter?
The spring rates are high on Gr+?! i thought it's really low for how i want it.
I'm planning to keep these coilovers for a long time as i'll start autoX and drift next year.
I'm trying to buy these coilovers next week if possible. But i can't afford the rest of the stuff that goes with lowering the car like alignment fee and rear camber

EDIT: anyone know the "highest" height you can go with Gr+?

i went ahead and placed an order for stance gr+ from THMotorsport.
can someone direct me to where how much the height adjusts from one turn of the shock body, and if i just install them straight out of the box and not adjust the height then how much drop i get?

I asked the same question about 9 months ago about the drop from one turn of the shock body in relation to ride height. No one answered.

So I just went ahead and did it more than once to get ride height the way I wanted. I am using GR+ Pro which i believe is a fairly similar setup. I have the front screwed on 30 full turns and the rear 27 full turns. This is very low. I'm not sure the exact drop measurements but the rear tires are about flush with the top of the wheel well and the fronts slightly tuck the tire by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I had computed the measurement of drop per turn but have long since lost that information. If you need more info or measurements would help feel free to pm me.
