Hi,

I'm planning on replacing my stock springs with Steeda Dual rate Spring and wonder if Shocks are mandatory to replace upon spring change.

my car is 2016 GTPP and have no suspension modification.

It's my DD and I do attend a lot of Track events and occasionally throws my car side way in winter.

for next summer, I'll have PP wheels (19x9.5) all around with PS4S (275/40/19 or 285/35/19).

It's really hard to decide which one would be best for me and seek for humble advise.

Could you guys recommend which springs would go perfect with GTPP shocks?


P.S. I have 1" hubcentric spacers all around as well. wonder if this can affect too.

Yes most definitely. The stock PP shocks and struts are nowhere near enough damping for those springs. The Steeda Pro Action adjustable or Koni Yellow would be a good choice for dual rate springs.

For GT PP shocks and struts, BMR SP080 are magnificent.

I'd go with 285/35R19 on tires. They are 0.8" wider tread width than the 275/40.

The Steeda Pro-Action Adjustables with the Steeda dual rate springs are a perfect combo! The Pro-Action shocks offer a much better ride quality than the P/P shocks. This is by my experience and others.

Here's a build list of what i did. While you're replacing the rear springs its a good time to firm up the rear and get rid of some wheel hop.
