    the mans got a point,

    i run 8kg front 5-6kg rear and some times it can really wear you down as a daily,

    I got 6 front 4.5 rear and I'm pretty happy with it. Still rolls a bit but can fix that with sway bars. Still very comfortable for daily driving

    i got 8s front and chopped falcon springs (maybe 5s?) and there is no way i would drive that every day. maybe i am soft, but i do live on a farm and it does take me 45 minutes to get to the corner shop to get the newspaper and milk :lol:

    i have 8 fronts and 6 rears personally would much rather 7.5 or 7 of the front and 5.5 or 5s in the rear but you can get used to the bumpy ride....

    yeap, i'd agree with 8-6.I'm currently running 10-8 and its way too harsh for normal road driving or spirited mountain driving

    i think i will go for 8 and 6
    don't mind it is too bumpy
    just hope it won't weaken the other parts that connect to them.
