yes and somewhere between those numbers, sway bars become redundant.... and the ride becomes quite intolerable for road use.
but I would hesitate to recommend them for DD use simply because they dont seem very rust tolerant. I took mine out to a meet once and got stuck driving through some salt on the way home... and have been dealing with a bit of surface rust on the coilover threading ever since. And I would worry about the sway bar linkage loosening and coming in contact with the rim in a very bad way. too many potholes, too many adverse conditions to recommend that you can just throw it on, forget about it and drive many thousands of miles without inspecting it.
