Original Poster,

Wrangler Front Coil Springs are true, DUAL-RATE Coils manufactured of hi-tensile chrome silicone steel alloy that surpasses the typical aftermarket coil springs in extended length, ride quality and long-lasting durability.

Metalcloak's Dual-Rate coil springs, give you...
Longest Free Length in Industry 21 7/8"
Stays in Coil Buckets, even at Full Droop
Superior Ride Quality
Excellent On & Off Road Stability
Consistant Ride Height
Resists Sagging
Allows for Unbeatable Articulation

Metalcloak 3.5" Front Coil Spring, Dual-Rate, JK, Pair

These will be hard to beat.

What are the downsides?

Let me re-phrase so I don't sound entirely like an a-hole.

Dual Rate or Progressive Springs, whatever you want to call it, ride better and they "Stays in Coil Buckets, even at Full Droop" better than Linear Coils will...

It ain't science

Stays in Coil Buckets, even at Full Droop
Superior Ride Quality
Excellent On & Off Road Stability
Consistant Ride Height
Resists Sagging
Allows for Unbeatable Articulation

I've always heard great things about EVO. I don't think I've heard any complaints except on the bolt on coil overs and that was just installation issues (who cares about that once it's in and riding like a dream). EVO was actually at the top of my list but I chose MC because they were completely different. I didn't really compare the springs but the kits and all the components.

Either way I think you can't lose.

I really only need the coils, that is what initially drove me to look at the Evo coils. I agree, I believe I would be happy with either coil. Do you have any side shot pics?

I want to see a set of 2.5" progressive rate springs right next to 2.5" linear springs like the EVO and/or RCs.
