H&R ultra coilovers and Motopersona coilovers are higher than 500

Truechoice makes a custom set up. Eibach ERS springs goes well over 1000lbs.

Default you are better off getting coilover with high rate

springs. Coilovers will be matched well. It will be expensive and difficult to get a well matched shock for a high rate spring. You will probably end up spending as much as a coilover anyway and not get the adjustability. Don't try to run Bilsteins with hig rate springs...I've learned this the hard way.

Default We have a S4 here in Socal that is running 1500+ lbs springs on his

race coilovers. But then how many people are willing to pay $7K for coilovers.
