Currently, I have no idea what inserts are in the struts. the car will be built with what is on them. I am pretty sure this is currently way over-sprung in terms of spring rates as well.

Once the car is assembled I can weigh and calculate spring rates. Then get dampers that match. Elephant can supply digressive valve inserts. The Bilsteins can also be revalved to match.

Ideally, I would want lower compression (jounce) damping and higher rebound damping. This is also a reason I have preferred and used Koni on my other cars. I think Bilstein are very well matched to stock spring rates (torsion bars) but valving is wrong once the rate is increased.

And KW were out of the budget for the build. Especially the coil over version.
