Coilover spring rates

I'm curious what spring rates you guys went with on your coilovers. Seems like 8k/12k is a standard rate. I'm curious if they worked well for you or if you had to make adjustments. I know every setup will be different, I'm just trying to see where people are at with them

I should say I'm more talking about on track use vs stance only or daily driver.

I bought silvers neomax, not a whole lot of reviews on here, so kinda going in blind for our cars. I read a lot on other makes forums and I didn't read anything negative, other than being "cheap". I'm anxious to see how they hold up

They're swift 8k in the front and 12k rear. I'm curious what other people have for spring rates, and how they feel about them. I most likely won't have mine installed before my next track day.

I did the first review on here of the silvers coilovers last year, so far no problem after a couple track days and some daily driving. I did swap the rears to 14k springs. A bit stiffer.

Good to hear they're holding up for you. How's the adjustability of them? I got the default rates so we'll have to see how they feel.

They adjust well and noticable but at stock rates i do feel the rear doesnt dampen as much as id like. The rear i normally keep 4-2 clicks from full hard, and on track full hard on the rear. Front is somewhere in the middle. Im considering bumping up rates and valving a good amount.
