In the interest of clarification, I called KW and verified the rears indeed place the springs on the OEM location. The springs are 65mm ID springs. This is good news to me.

Thanks OP for allowing me to threadjack, hope this info is useful to those thinking about the clubsports.

No worries . Ill be holding off on the coils for a bit. I got into an accident this morning. Rain + Quaife diff + bad tires = fail.

I was going off of the following posted information.

you can't use SPL midlinks with Clubsports either btw, as Clubsports are only now offered as a true rear coil design
I didn't visit the thread it was posted in again, if I did I would have seen the following correction

that spring rate spread is beyond retarded fwiw, you're right - 11/9 should be a decent spread, will be largely dictated by your driving style and what those tires can deal with (never used them myself)
I'll edit my post. And it's a case that I'm actually very happy to be wrong

I have a set of rear BC BR OEM style springs that you can have for cheap. I was looking to do the same thing but got lazy.

The bottom end of the spring sits in the spring bucket and the top is tapered to fit into the adjuster. I've test fitted the springs and they do in fact fit.

PM me if you're interested.

I found a pic of somebody else's setup with BC adjusters but can supply pic of the actual unit once I get home.

linear 8k @ 230mm
