Default Gonna ditch the prokit...

like it states, I'm going to be going a different route and will be selling the prokit. I have them currently on the car for about 4 months I believe and less than 4k miles on them. Bought em brand new but I need a stiffer spring due to my Td's already being low. Not sure what springs I'm leaning toward but my first option is going to give strano a buzz in the morning. I'll let em go for $150+ shippin

Don't have pics since their on car and like I said they are 4 months old the most... lmk if interested

Did you run into any problems? Why do you want to get rid of them so quickly?

Are your shocks adjustable? If they are just stiffen them up a bit and that will be like having a stiffer spring.

That's not how it works. Shocks are dampers, they slow motion... they do not add wheel rate like higher rate springs do.

Correct. It definitely isn't anything like having a stiffer spring. Especially for the Konis that he has. Compression stays the same. You only adjust rebound. So his car's suspension will compress the same. It won't return that fast though and keep the car low for a longer period of time. The next bump you hit will have less suspension travel, especially if the bump is sooner than later.
