it is done, stock springs back on
Well I changed back to my stock springs last night. Boy those spring compressors were a total PITA, took over 3 hours to get it all done (only took the first 30 minutes to get everything off).
Impressions? At full soft on the Koni shocks, whoaaaa feels like the car is floating.
At full stiff, it is actually quite controlled. I'll probably ride the shocks towards the stiffer end of the adjustment range most of the time. It's not at all harsh, though. I do still have these Koni shocks, and the 22mm ITR rear swaybar, so it's not all bad.
Ride height: The front is actually still noticeably lower than stock, with maybe only a 2-finger gap with the spring perch set on the lowest setting. The rear, it's a little higher than I would like it to be, about 1" to 1-1/4" higher than the front.
I may just chop a coil off the rear springs.
Might get pics later today.

if I could find somebody selling just a pair of ITR rear springs I'd probably put those on... car looks like it's got a drag race stance right now
