Found these spring rates, so what does the number means? the lesser the number the better the comfort?

Basic Kit
F/R Spring Rate: 9/8

Flex Kit
F/R Spring Rate: 14/12

In very simple terms, in general, yes.

yah, if you want comfort do the 9/8.

i think anywhere 9 to 11 linear is going to be about right.

comfort almost completely comes from the rear spring rate, so 8 is good. as for the edfc, only the super street is compatible (well atleast the only one that fits both criteria) I'll PM you a price... I guess I was the only vendor to fall into this trap haha
