Default Springs with Stock suspension?

Any idea? Is that going to improve or screw up the stock setting (which I am really happy with right now)? If they can improve handling with just switching springs, which company make better springs? Eibech (sp?), H&R, Spoons? (or some others?)

thanks,
CS

P.S. or should I stick with stock and get coilover later?

If you just wanna' go for looks then an aftermarket set of lowering springs will be nice and not upset the balance of your R. Before I got my Tein' HA's I had some Tanabe springs with a 2 in. drop. I still have em' for sale if anyone is interested! 75 bucks HAHA!

yeah..... that (coilover) should be the plan, but I saw a posting in classifieds about some Spoon springs.... just curious to find out would springs actually help in handling.

they (spoon) were designed for the r and would help some because the lower would give you a little more neg camber. not sure about the spring rates, and how much the stock shocks can go. that is what i would like know myself. how much of a spring rate can the stock r shocks take???
