concidering you will be riding on 1000# springs on there rear instead of say 300-500 which most people ride on, YES THEY ARE HARSH AND STIFF.

You will most likely be lifting your rear wheels a lot when going around corners at moderate speeds.

I have the street setup, good for daily driving, good enough for the average racing. I would buy the sport coilovers if you want a compramise b/t the two.

Remember this: with the street coilovers it is said that the valving on the front and rear is close enough or the same so you CAN SWITH THE 10K/560# spring to the rear if you want and can put the 8K/448# spring up front.

Do you have a front traction bar? If not, get one! Possibly look into a 3pt front strut tower bar. Password JDM has one.

I run streets 10k front 8k rear, stock EX front sway, no front traction bar or strut bar and I get wheel hop on street launches runnin 340 treadwear BFG g-force sports.

I have the Drag coilovers on my car. They were cool for about a week or so, and now its just obnoxious. Considering that and the fact that I'm not really into drag racing as much anymore and just want a comfortable street car, I'm probably going to be selling mine sometime soon. 6spdKEG is right about the back wheels coming off the ground over a lot of bumps. You will feel EVERY bump in the road. They do work great when you want to launch it hard though.
