    E34 spring rate recommendation

    Looking at purchasing BC racing coilovers and was wondering what your thoughts are on the best spring rates for drifting a 540i 6 speed are?
    From the research I did somewhere around 11k front and 14k rear should be the way to go?
    Maybe go stiffer in the front 12k front and 14k rear?
    The car has a complete solid rear end (aluminum subframe and diff bushing with 75d poly trailing arms) and the interior is completely gutted if that matters.
    Any suggestions are welcome!

    Hey i just bought a e34 525 and am looking to set it up for drifting. What did you end up going with? I was told 14k front and rear would work well and rode in another 525 set up that way but i cant find the cx racing ones he bought or any others with that spring rate for the e34 5 series
