This is what I definitley need. I have LOTS of body roll when changling lanes, taking turns, ect. The suspension feels very loose when at high speeds also, I don't like it at all. I am hoping that ST spring would stffen this up and give me some better handling, can anyone confirm this? I'll be getting these soon...right after I buy this 1 farad cap (keep getting outbidded on ebay) If you know the best place to get the hookup for the ST springs add that also.

Thanks,
PJ

ST springs were $145 shipped to my door from south west auto works, they lower 2" and they definatly will make an improvment over stock handling. comblined with the FSTB i have 90% less body roll then before and you will notice the handling improvments

maxse91, I think the springs you got from Southwest Auto were Sprint, not Susp. Technique which lowers the car only 1.5". ST springs cost around 175 plus shipping. Check shox.com or call them and ask. I think they give discounts to max.org members.

LOOSE SUSPENSION ETC...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RACING AND DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND NORMAL DAILY DRIVING, YOU'D REALIZE THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH YOUR SPRINGS; I DONT KNOW HOW MANY MILES YOUR CAR,HAS BUT I'M BETTING IF YOU GET YOUR RACK AND PINION BUSHINGS CHECKED, THAT THEY ARE WORN OUT. A PROBLEM I HAD BEFORE CHECK ALL YOUR BUSHINGS IN YOUR SUSPENSION AND STEERING BEFORE YOU ADD SPRINGS IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM BUYING TIRES. TRY FIRESTONE THEY HAVE A GOOD LIFETIME ALIGNMENT! I GET MINE REDONE EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS! ITS WORTH $150.00!!!
