I run 600lb front and 450ib rears,

Ride is noticeably firmer but she is much more nimble than before.

Nitron supplied the springs when my shocks were sent back for a refurb.

I personally would not go firmer, as I said the ride is noticeably firmer than before but quite compliant with the shocks set at 8 and 10 clicks from hard for road use, track use normally full hard all round except if wet or at Castle Combe which is quite bumpy so I run slightly less damping there.

550 front and 450 rear. Definitely a firm ride on the road but the handling is great! Eibach springs supplied with Nitron shocks.

Stiffer but very planted, you certainly are aware of big pot holes but I drive mine all year on all roads and it is a very comfortable place to sit and travel in.

A mate slept in the passenger seat all the way from Spa to Calais even on that atrocious potholed motorway.

Comfort is subjective but to me my Cerb is a great place to be, makes me grin even just cruising down the motorway in dreadful weather.

When I bought my Pro-Techs from Joo he automatically supplied springs with and they have been wonderful on road and track.

Contact him for advice.

I run duplex springs with my Nitrons, when the time comes I have been thinking about Eibach how are they on the whole?
I just ask Power for fast road/Track set and I have no complaints at all.
