Steeda Ultralite Springs - Question

[WERA49]

If I install Steeda Ultralite springs #555-8211 (200 lbs./inch front and 800 lbs./inch rear), with the springs overwhelm the stock struts and shocks?

Stock struts/shocks usually don't have enough rebound damping for really stiff springs. However, these are approximately 25% stiffer than OEM.

I recently installed the Steeda 555-8211 springs on my 2022 base 300A GT. They definitely improved the handling responsiveness and significantly reduced dive and squat. However, I installed Bilstein B6 shocks and struts at the same time. I was told the higher spring rates would quickly kill the base OEM dampers in perhaps as little as 8-10k miles, depending on road quality and driving style. In addition, I already found the OEM rears to have insufficient rebound damping. When stock, the rear of the car was easily sent airborne by medium to large bumps. It's much better behaved now.

Thank you Sir! That is exactly what I was looking for.
