I know that the spring rates are pretty stiff. But I don't think its that close to coilovers.

Pinks ride tight but saying they are "close to coilovers" is pretty vague because all coilovers are different. It is really a simple calculation, just look at the LBS/IN on a set of coilovers and on pinks. I believe pinks are the stiffest spring available, but personally I would save the money for coilovers, if nothing else just for ride height adjustability.

Just my .02
