Question about springs and spring rates

Hay Guys,

I was originally gonna buy king springs that give me a 35mm drop but i could get TEIN springs that give me 49mm in front and 45mm in back Drop, so i bought those in the M-Type which has a spring rate of 4.9front and 3.8rear. and then they said that they ran out of stock and had to get some from japan and they stoped making the M-type and only make the:
S-type - spring rate - 3.2 Front / 2.6 Rear
&
H-type - spring rate - 6.7 Front / 5.5 Rear

So my question is: i have 18's with 35tyres and would it be rough as sh*t having the H-type or will i be right - and i dont really want the S-type cus they will be all soggy and that.

Thanks guys

I have 17 with 45 tyres and my rates are 8.2 front nd 6.8 back. I hve fullcoilovers though so theres damper adjustibility etc. Its alright Ive gotten used to its stiffness but atfirst its was real tough

I reckon that'd be hard as f*ck with a 35 series tyre...

My Teins are set with the spring rates similar to the S type ones you have there & I do plenty of track work on them.

I have 18/35's and my spring rate is around where the H's would be and mine is stiff as. I love it though but i bet a lot of people wouldnt. I also have adjustable dampner so if it gets too hard i can soften it up, however i have never used that adjustment.

I reckon go for it, if you love to hobble

I personally would not go any higher though
