Much much better. Went and got an alignment right away and the front toe was off a little. The only thing they weren't able to adjust, since we don't have a stock rear camber adjustment, the rear camber is at 1.1, which although is right out of spec, should be ok. Drives absolutely great, a real little bit stiffer than stock, but its to be expected. Couldn't be happier right now. For those that don't know I went from stock to H&R Sport Springs and Tokico Blues.
Thanks for your help on my beast of a car that has yet again tried to fight the mods that I want to do to it. Yet again the Oracle of Zine prevailed

I need new shocks as well, I'm already riding on h&r sports. Ive been doing a lot of reading up on here, about what to get and it seems that tokico blues are the best way to go, because i don't want too pay 1300 for tein ss coilovers

This makes me sad to look at my car all jacked up again...
I have to buy new shocks anyways (after paying $200 to have my stock ones reinstalled, all four are leaking like crazy), so I'm going to be dropped again soon enough.

To me it seems like a lot less body roll. Now let me say though that previous to the new setup I was on the stock shocks and springs and I had 101000 miles on those, so these are in incredible upgrade. I can consistently take corners at much higher speeds and all 4 tires stay planted and sure footed.
If you are really looking to minimize body roll, yes this will help, so will making sure your RSB endlinks are still ok, as well as if you have $150, upgrading to the the 3G TL Progress Technology RSB, from what I hear will help a lot as well.

What your problem is?
I don't see any pics... wtf?
What sways do you guys get? Was thinking of getting the Comptech sways, but does it matter what kind of springs and/or shocks you use... is one brand preferred over another when matching them???

Pics of what?? Just the pics of my drop are in post #17. I don't have aftermarket sways on my car, but if I were to, I would only do the rear, and would most likley get the 3G TL Progress RSB. Do a search you will find comparisons to the comptech rsb.

The H&R are great, I've had them on my car for about 4 yrs now and still love them. I have them paired with the Tokico Blues and the ride is fine. A little more aggressive than stock but doesn't make your teeth chatter everytime you go over a bump.
So I take it the 3G Progress sway is a direct bolt on for our cars? There is no modification needed to make it fit? Does anyone have any input on the Eibach kit? I haven't heard anything bad about it.
