Suspension help, thank you
Hey guys, i have an 03 SE and after a spirited canyon run i have decided that this car stock handles like crap. Any bumps on the turns make the car feel horribly unstable and understeer in sharper corners is also annoying.
I just bought some progress springs off another .orger and I was wondering what shocks you guys would recomend running with this setup. Also should i get a rear sway and does the fstb help any? Thanks for your help in advance, if i cant get this heap handling better i might just give up on it and sell it.

thanks thats really nice to hear. i realize the rsb should improve the back but does the fstb make a noticeable difference. Also how does the backend feel on long slightly uneven sweepers? the back was almost scary last time i tried spiritedly driving a road like that.
thanks for the help and keep the ideas comming! From what i am understanding the tokkico blues might not be dampened enough to handle the progress springs... is this true? I know they worked really well with the prokit and rsb in my gsr.

The car will feel tighter on ll turns, gives you confidence to take the turns faster. I have the blues, cause there was nothing else out there at the time. You have so many choices now, AGX, tokico illumias etc. Do a search, I heard many good things about the other shocks and struts.

I posted some links to what others have said about the RSB (on a lowered Max) as well. For FSTB effects, you will feel some a tendency towards more neutral handling with the RSB. Once again, as a disclaimer, this is all based on my opinion and based on daily driving and not track or auto-x experience (although Bejay1 and Bluesbrker, couple guys with track experience, did agree with me somewhat).

And like already said, do a search because this stuff has been discussed a lot already. I know I've posted this info at least several times in the 5th Gen forums.
