V8V Sports pack spring rates

Looking at getting BC coilover replacements as the originals on my N420 are misting. On BCs website there is the option to select the spring rate. I can't find what the sports pack spring rate is. Does anyone have that information? Cheers.

I just ordered these for a 2010 Vantage coupe. Default is 7k front and 9k rear. I ordered the Swift springs. I have a guy that gave me $50 off cheapest price that I could find.

Yeah, I saw those default spring rates and assumed they are for the standard vantage, not the sports pack.

Will they allow the stock ride heigh? Rich from red pants had them listed on his store stating it would give a bit of a drop. Don't know if that was specific to the ones he was selling.

I have the sport pack. The coilovers are fully ride height adjustable. Also then you separately set the damper by clicking the top.

Have you fitted them yet? Let us know how you like them and how you feel it compares to the original sports pack.

yes I have. I’ve had the wheels off a dozen times as I’ve tweaked the height setting. I’ve tried 10 clicks from hardest and 10 from softness. Prefer the later so far. Will keep adjusting.
