Hi Andrew,
Would be great if you could elaborate a little on this. It seems like most of the JDM brands (HKS, Tein) have stiffer fronts than rears...
Would your recommendation be any different if someone is already running thicker anti-roll bar in the rear?
Never took Suspension 101, so your advice is appreciated.

These rates show that they do not understand how the EVO suspension works. This is very basic stuff and they're getting it wrong. Like freshman year, Intro to Suspension Dynamics 101 stuff. Chapter 2, in bold letters, in it's own box in the sidebar so you KNEW it was going to be on the test. Seriously.
YOU DO NOT WANT SOFTER RATES IN THE REAR ON THE EVO IF YOU CARE ABOUT HANDLING.
My advice on those rates is to avoid them and anyone who pushes them because they do not know what they are doing. And spring rates are the EASY part when it comes to coilovers.....shock valving is what's difficult. If they can't get that right...well then it says a lot.
Sorry to lecture and i know it sounds harsh, but it's the truth.
