thanks for the advice, i think i am going to try the lower rates...
i mean, they're sitting on my floor right now!
i'll see how they go... if i'm really unhappy with the setup, then yes you're right, i can just head over to stasis and just swap the springs out

i didn't realize that these rates were the most popular. from the archives and the advice from
the tuners, it sounded as though the 700/800 was more popular. thanks for the advice Jeff

you're probably right, and i just might regret trying out the softer spring rates first
but i guess some things you need to try out on your own, right?
i guess i'm also hoping that if i leave the 19mm rear sway that it will help w/ turn in, etc.

FWIW, I'm in the middle of installing Motorsports (700/800), and I softened up my 19 mm.
I removed the CPP uplinks and replaced with the stockers, which allowed me to go from firm back to soft on the bar. I only have the Motorsport rears on now (H&R Streets still on the fronts), and turn-in is very much improved when I get on the gas - weight shifts to the rear where there is much less roll. Plus, now I have a more independent rear end - a stiff rear end is annoying on lumpy city roads.

Anytime...
I just installed them last weekend, that and I don't drive this car in the snow 8 - ) I also left in my 19mm sway on soft. Hmmm, I wonder how it would react in the snow?
