Default RSR springs help

I currently have RSR spings and stock replacement shocks for my EG8, I get allot of body roll. What other shocks could I use with the springs for better cornering? Or should I just get a set of coilovers?

Do you even know what spring rates those RSRs even are? You can get the best shocks there are but with crappy rates it won't make any difference.

What's your budget? Progress makes an excellent budget coilover. Many people are running these, including me, and I have yet to hear a complaint. I'd get the 350/250 or 350/350 rates.

Tokico blues? Those are stock replacements. If you want to blow those out go ahead.

I already gave you my recommendation. If you're just looking to improve your stance a bit and greatly increase ride quality then get the Progress CS2s. If you're just wanting to slam the car get what all the fanboys get and but Function & Form.

it might be more helpful if you gave us a budget that you are working with.
