Please list your spring rate(if default, what is your default spring rate?), length of springs, what types of struts and shocks you are riding on, and what are your opinions of ride and performance(please be as detailed as possible)? In advanced, I thank you for your response...

I have the default springs, not sure what the rate is though. I have Tokicos, and the car is dropped all the way. Car rides like crap. Mostly because it's so low (it's a show car and I'm too lazy to keep raising it for everyday driving) But the Tokicos should not be used with the ground controls. Those shocks are no better than stock. Get Koni's or the AGX when they're available. I'm getting a set of AGX's as soon as they arrive from Japan.

In detail, the car bounces a lot. I mean a lot. And it has practically no damping. The car feels floaty because the shocks can't damp the ground controls well enough. Finally, the car rides rough because the spring rate is so high. Then again, the car rode this way with the Intrax/Tokico combo. The ground controls are good springs if you have the right shocks.
