I'd be willing to bet that most people who buy D2, Omni, K-Sports and cheap Teins don't even look at spring rates. I had 3 different spring rates on my last ITR while I owned it, and under different rates the car reacted differently, as it should.

You've got to do more research than just what other people say about them.
i looked at the spring rates before i bought them, but i'm leaving them as is b/c this is my first track season and i want to see how the car performs before i change them...D2 offers custom spring rates and you can get them revalved to match...

but i must say i knew none of this before i did some research...didn't even know anything about spring rates, revalving or anything up until August of last year after a couple months of research, the D2's cost and performance fit my budget, and it also helped that their distribution warehouse is about 10 miles fom me...

OP search H-T for their shock dyno, i think it's still there...there's a lot of info out there and it's best to do a lot of research before making your final decision
