From an EG... it ought to fit, and I
believe both the EG and DC kits have identical spring rates. But given
...is that a typo with those spring rates? 6-front, 16-rear?? wouldnt that make your car ridiculously oversteery? even 16-front and 6 rear, that's REALLY stiff, and it won't help at all with ride quality if he's getting 17" wheels (lower profile tires, heavier wheels = rougher ride). Also, if i'm not mistaken the stock rates for the Flex coilovers is 9-front 4 rear. Check rate lists
here.
No, it's not a typo. But it was vague.
h: Sorry for the confusion.
By 6/16, I meant 6 clicks from fully "open" for
both the front and rear dampers.
As a matter of tuning principle, yes.. your analysis is spot on. Excessive roll stiffness in the rear would make the car quite skittish and harsh-riding.
