This is the answer i'v been looking for. Thank you.

So this would mean that if you don't get a true coil you don't want a much lower spring rate in the rear. So a difference like 12k/10k wouldn't be idea. It would be more like 12/11?

Just trying to get a better understanding on it. Thanks in advance!
