Default BDS Coils?

Anyone use these coils? I was wondering how they ride. I found a guy selling a new pair of 2" for $50 which is the lift i am putting on, but the spring rate on their website says a spring rate of 240? I was thinking that was a bit high but wanted some feedback before i jumped on them thanks!

BDS is a pretty good brand, I'd say that's a decent deal. That spring rate is going to be a bit stiff though, although since they're used they might be a lil broke in...

I just picked up some BDS 6.5" coils to replace my RC 4.5" coils. Should be a sweet upgrade!
