I want to limit the front to back sway, the car is stock rides pretty nice, but i want more, lowering is not my goal, performance is, and i would prefer oversteer anyday to understeer, {its the drift in me =).} will any of the springs in the pinned threads that will work with kybs? because that is all i can seem to get my hands on.. thanks
None of the aftermarket lowering springs will really work well with the KYBs available for our cars. They are stock replacements and do not have the dampening strength to work correctly with any stiffer springs.
Increasing the rear spring rate more than the front and increasing the rear roll stiffness relative to the front (thicker rear sway bar) will both help to reduce understeer.
Of those listed the softest, the H&R or the neuspeed springs, will work best (but not well), but you will end up trading a little understeer for a bouncy, floaty, underdamped ride. I'd stay with the stock springs if I couldn't get the right struts.
As AZ said, any aftermaket springs are going to overpower those KYB GR-2's. With that, if lowering is not your goal, and you're almost content with the ride now, I might suggest going with Tokico's all around and adding a rear ani-sway bar. Or even going with an upper strut bar in back and no upgrades up front will help stiffen up the rear just enough to be noticed.
The Toki's are cheap compared to the other options (Koni and Billstein) and although they're not good (at all) to be combined with lowering springs, they'll work great with stock springs.
If can get some GroundControls or Dropzone coilover you can put the fronts in the rear and the rears in the front. I did this with my dropzones and my front has more give to it for better ride and get a good amount of push with my rear being stiff now. You would need to get some revalved Blistens struts to handle the stiffness of the coilovers.
well, actually when you do that.. your rear will want to swing out more....Quote:

I did that setup to get an idea of the differences in Spring rate...
Well I like it. I put the stiff ass 450LBS springs in the back and the 350LBS in the front in order to make my ride a little more comfortable.
i guess stock springs and bigger sway and new struts will be my game..:tongue:
