[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16957939, member: 117234"] How does the car ride with those spring rates and sport dampers? I ask because eventually I plan on a similar setup but was thinking more along the lines of a 400lb spring up front. Op my last setup before I tore my car apart was MM coilovers with 325lb Springs Stock K Stock A arms with Delrin bushings IRS with FTBR bushings H&R Red Springs. Full length sub frames Aluminum steering rack bushings Obviously my spring rates weren't matched but the car handled very well and was fun on the twisty road by my old house. One thing I always mention when coilovers threads come up is DON'T slam the car. A lot of people use them to adjust their ride height down to the the point where their tires are tucked then claim coilovers suck. What they don't understand is they've removed most if not all of the bump travel and are riding on the internal stops. Yes you can lower the car with them but going to far is actually detrimental to handling as well. [/QUOTE]
