No. Everything was installed at the same time. Monoballs were added to improve feedback through the steering wheel.

Absolutely agree. A lot of people on this forum wrote that the RT is as comfortable as OEM EDC. Absolutely not, and it can’t be.. the spring rates are a good amount higher.

I have thought about getting the R&T's and replacing the front 60n/mm fronts with one of the other, milder front lowering springs. Sadly rates are hard to come by on the lowering springs. H&R says "10-20% stiffer". Swift is in the 300's I think, no help there. The rear setup is not that much stiffer than stock and I mostly just want the nicer dampers. I also want to stick with the factory upper mounts with my dinan offset plates because I don't want the extra failure points/noise/whatever else comes up of a true camber/caster plate.
Coupled with a front swaybar, something like the H&R Sport ought'nt to be too badly mismatched to the 685lb rear springs (15% stiffer than stock, approx). Stock - 160 lb/in H&R Sport - 176-192 Swift - 279 (notably paired with the same approx. rear rate as the R&T's) R&T - 342 There are also some slightly higher-rate Vert lowering springs out there, IIRC. I have to say I'm happy with the B8's as a stock replacement rear shock, and they're definitely more controlled than stock especially over big hits, but nowhere near the "what bump?" control the car had on the MCS 2-way remotes with stock springs.

Second, I think the RT rear rate is 672ish which would be likely 150% stiffer than stock, no? If so that's a HUGE increase in stiffness. Finally, how did you run stock springs with the MCS'? |

My MCS setup was a custom strut machined to accept the stock lower perch (it’s just a press fit). For use in scca Stock class
Is the R&T lower perch flat? Or is the diameter off? That blows. I suppose one could always convertnand use a tall low rate 2.5” linear spring Stock rear rate is 550lb/in for some reason I thought 600, which is wrong http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=336450 |

So I've placed my order in for the B8's as my OEM shocks are done.
80,000KM. The rears have been making a clunking noise, I thought to myself might as well replace all 4. I had KW Clubsports before, of course, coilovers are better in every way but Canada's winters have been too brutal. I don't want to go through the experience I had when I was dailying my PSS10 on my previous E90. Will share pictures when they arrive and have them installed with my Eibach springs with shortened e36 m3 bump stops.
