Just put on coilovers. . .
Actuall, just sleeves. they are dropzones and i have tokico illuminas. i got 450 rear and 350 front. this car handles like a champ now man. especially compared to my old tokico springs. i would recomend them to any one on a budget. they dont even bounce, they're just stiff. ill post pics later.

I was thinking of doing a similar spring rate setup. Do you notice it understeering or oversteering? Or is it more neutral?
Get up some more pics, too.

they were only 100 bux, and i havent had the chance to fiddle with the height yet, so it wont be like that for very long.

If you think it handles like a champ now, wait until you raise it up to a decent height and get some nice tires and wheels!

Don't forget to put on the camber correction stuff or you will be replacing tires a little too often

My friend put some cheap coilover sleeves on his car, and the aluminum sleeve cracked and mushroomed on the bottom where it sits in the stock spring perch.
