No problems except they seem overly soft and bottom out much to often.
I hope to be changing that soon.

Check out koreperformance.com, its all there. Coils look to be the same for the all the kits. Definately beefy coils, around 86lb for the both of them. The ride should be a lot more controlled for sure.

I'm gona go out on a limb and say that those 86lb coils won't be any good for your application, a-arm, I'm guessing you have a 2wd since you don't have your sig filled out.
