The MT1BS spring rate front is 6k / back is 4k
the other one ST1 still finding

btw for myvi ride is it best front 5k and back 3k overall comfort?

you want comfort you stay stock suspension only, or go for better absorber with digressive damping so it can slightly improve handling too

front wheel drive car shouldn't use front stiff rear soft setup, maybe for comfort but definitely not for handling

i dont know how many owners from car group took out their adjustable the next day they install because it is too stiff doh.gif

spring rate should be customizable, you should be able contact them and let them know your preferred spring rate

another important thing that most of the owner doesn't ask is what kind of damping curve that the absorber using, is it linear, progressive or digressive?

Hi ,what is the best setup for front wheel drive ?
*
Depends on what you use your car for, but generally front soft rear stiff about 2k difference, for example if front is 8k then rear is 10k

Square setup is more if all rounder and you can use the soft hard adjustment to fine tune the ride to either oversteer rear stiff setup or daily drive understeer bias

Tyres size matters as well, but generally same width same model for front rear is recommended unless your car is having staggered setup from factory
