Now the question is, do I really want to do springs too? I want the handling, but am concerned about the drop with stock wheels and tires. I also am concerned about the ride. I don't think I mind harsh, but I want to know HOW harsh?
Help?!?!?
Help?!?!?

do the springs and get it over with....I did my tok's with some sprints and I don't have a problem with my ride quality. I't going to be stiffer and when you hit a bump you sure will notice it a hell of a lot better than you would with stock suspension, but if you do struts/springs at the same time you'll save yourself some headaches and some cash.

The ride is great, the car doesen't sway at high speeds and you don't get that scary floaty feeling at high speeds either. with the springs/struts installed when you turn the car sticks to the road. when you punch the gas you don't have the back end sink before the car starts hauling and when you do a short or emergency stop there's no front end dip. And damn the car sure does look better when it's lower to the ground.

if you have the stock wheels and tires they never rub, I even rode the car with myself (180lbs) and thre 200+ pounders and nothing rubbed at all. I don't have a camber kit and after I got my alignment the tires are wearing fine. by the way if you are looking for sprints....go southwestautoworks.com ask for alex.
