 Suspension experts- I currently have Good parts lowered springs rated at 390
lbs/in front and 470 lbs/in rear. The ride is a little harsh as when hitting
bumps it rattles quite a bit, yeah I know it's a sports car. My question will
going to another spring which is rated at 420 lbs/in in the rear (front will
still be 390) make that much of a difference in ride as it equals out to 100
lbs/in total for the rear. Will this be a noticeable difference? I know I'll
give up some handling in swapping springs. Front suspension has urethane
bushings and the rear is Good's nylatron the ONLY ones that don't elongate at
the pivot points unless you want rubber ones.
 Opinions are greatly apreciated.


 Just filled the car up yesterday w/  5 gallons of 110 octane and 5 gallons of
93 oct, Hum I think it made a difference as she really grabs second gear
pretty hard. Screw you trailer queens, give em  H?"%$. U-joints are only 20
bucks a piece.
