Gary,
I put the NISMO comp springs,swaybar and KYB white body shocks
on my car. It is definately a firmer ride. The springs do lower the car
in front but not too much for street driving. I live in SF CA and I swear we
must have the worst roads. Around town the car feels maybe too firm. All
the sharp edged pot holes and cracks in the street are felt. I am not sure if
its too firm yet. I think I need to go somewhere where the streets are
in better shape to decide that.I am not sure if this is a function of my
firmer shocks. Maybe with the KYB silver body GR-2 shocks it would be more
civilized.
But WOW does it handle great. I still have the stock wheels and the
improvement in handling is awesome. Quick side to side manuvers would
really upset the car, now it just stays planted and goes.
I have noe experience with the rear springs but I hear they are not the
best for the street.
