Default should i pull the trigger on fk konigsports?

im going after a firm ride, and only track a couple times a year. id really like to get the 800/1100 spring rates but decided against it because of these nasty michigan roads. do you think the standard rates be stiff enough for what im looking for? im going after something in between h&r streets and ultras but dont want to mess with h&r blowing.....shocks
thanks

For cr@ppy Michigan roads, it would be a good set-up.

If you're only on the track a couple of times a year, why even consider 1100 lb/in springs?

IMO if you want a firm ride & even considering 800+lb springs, FKs are not for you.

Default I never had them for sale...

I think that was 'punjabi' But I am going to swap the springs on the C/O's with Vogtland 600lb springs hopefully this week if I have time. But I think the FK's are made extremely well. My brother has Intrax ARS c/o's those are nice too. Try to see if you can get some AWers in your area to give you a ride with different c/o set ups. that would be your best bet
