... starting point. That is what I will be doing. Because basically we are all facing that exact problem and everyone with those aftermarket coilovers in the front and chopped/orwatevea springs in the back would be feeling that. I will start witht he comparitive spring in the rear and probably ...

... anyone here at all that can actually help? lol my car has had full alignment - everything is fine in that regard - the problem is that the front coilovers are rock solid and the rear is essentially like driving on a sponge! when driving along if you steer from side to side, the rear end is so ...

I'm curious, what spring rate would you guys actually recommend in order to match the front coilovers?

... I have to try something with this rear end. The caboose is loose so to speak. And if it doesn't work ill use this kit to build myself some front coilovers, and that will be great. Alternatively if I can get 10 people off this site to sign up and pay, I'd do it. But history says that this never ...

... on and standard suspension with rolled front and rear guards and that's with 205/40 tyres and it scrapes easy, Let alone you have 18's with no coilovers then your going to be up shit creek, I know i might seem to be all negative but noone else has said really shit all, IMOP go for it if you ...

You will have no chance with 18's on the rear without coilovers..Might need to add longer wheel studs and spacers and roll the rear guards..Have fun ha

TurboZ.dude, thankkkkks mate...

... and speed humps..Let alone your going 18's then i pretty much think your up shit creek..IMOP 17's with standard suspension is a No No..Get coilovers and you should be alright..Big wheels on these cars is farking shit house!
