The springs will make you cry... just don't over do it. Don't get too excited and take a turn doing like 85now, the car handles better but it's not a formula 1.

I have the DC Strut bar and the Progress reas sway... they really compliment eachother.. I have Pro_Kit springs in but havent put them on becuz i really wanted to Sportlines.. The salesman ordered the wrong springs but said that the prokit would be a better fit becuz it wouldnt lower it too much.. im up in the air if im going tokeep them... But i need to hurry.. wheels will be on soon

You should have bought the Eibach rear sway bar. IT is only about $20 more and is 25mm as opposed to Progress' 22mm. Just my .02
