The one thing i didn't like is even running the HKS on the stiffest setting the car was very bouncy on bad roads. Ended up beating my exhaust on the ground quite a bit.
Cool, thanks for the input. That's both promising and not promising at the same time lol. But would you say it can feel like the oem? You say rides better than oem, can you explain that? Better as in smoother or better as in even firmer sportier? My end goal is same as it is or very very near for street use and then firm it for track. Luckily the track nearest me is pretty smooth so shouldn't be bouncy with a firm setup.

I'm also warming up to the idea of kw v3 a little more even though I wasn't really impressed on my friends 335i and just don't think I'm a fan of progressive springs.

I'm still stuck between kw, rsr, hks and now after reading some surprisingly good reviews of the tein flex z they are also in. Hard part is I can only find test on brz/frs so it's not apples to apples.

It does seem most of the coil over options do increase the springs rates however the rsr do not (yet they do on the frs which confuses me more, like did they not do their research). Kw runs a little firmer front but actually a softer rear. It's odd on other cars it's seems they are all much closer to each other but on the z they are all over the place which makes it hard to get any idea of how it will ride.
