After adding the approx 80-100lbs of Hellion TwinTurbo I've noticed front dropped an additional 7/16" on my already 1" lowered Eibach Pro coil springs. I've ordered Energy suspension (3/8" thick) coil spring insulator/pads to go between the strut tower and the spring. I'm wondering if a stronger spring, of some sort, could be used? ...GT500 spring? I dunno. I'm just saying "sure I can raise it with isulator/pads but the progression of the spring doesn't feel the same (much rougher and bouncy) and doen't seem that it'd work optimally". I can also feel a difference when railing a corner.
Any/all info greatly appreciated.

I have Koni Street shocks/struts. Non-adjustable.
The front of my car is 75-100lbs heavier was just wondering what could be done.

Worst case scenario, swap to a stiffer spring rate and get some adjustables up front. Mine still handles great.

Okay thanks. I'll try getting ahold of Eibac . and see if 100 pound stiffer spring is an option. I know I'm not crazy because even my headlights are pointed down,. Thanks.
