Go with 3" synergy, heard nothing but good things. That's what I'm getting to replace my RK 2.5's in the future.

A guy that was in my group last year also had this issue with his rk springs. For the guys that dont leave the pavement im sure these springs meet their needs just fine and dont have these issues. RK is a great company and their springs clearly have great road manners. They also advertise these springs as racing springs but clearly something is missing for these springs to just break down and sag. I hope they get the issue resolved. In the meantime to stay on topic of this thread I would explore other manufacturers for springs but thats just me. Good luck to the op and let us know what you go with these choices are always a PIA with so many quality manufacturers out there now
Hmm, just saw what you guys are talking about in the RK thread. Did they ever make it right? Chucks rig had crazy lean on going on, and they kept mentioning the coils would droop under weight (no shit). They seemed to dodge commenting on the issue.

Sucks, I just got these new springs after hearing all the hype. Hoping they hold up as well as they ride...
