Re: building my car (johnzm)
I see the ES master kit but in the pics with the suspension on , the bushing are not installed 
Have fun putting those suckers in 
. Buy your own press from harbor freight for 125.00 , a shop will charge a ton to put them in.

Re: building my car (jcamacho)
I think you put the springs on the wrong end. The ones rated 400lbs should be in the front, where the most weight is at.
You put the stiffer springs in the rear to help the car rotate better, its a way to help fight the cars natural tendency to understeer.

can anyone else confirm this? I'm gonna install my coilovers tommorrow and wanna do it right, glad I saw this.
lookin' good on the mods too, its always great to spend a day working on your car.

Re: building my car (XwhitneyX)
it is true.
although i have no idea what springrate my fronts are, they are super soft. i can get my car to rotate slightly when i try HARD with this springrate. itll be good with a bigger than stock swaybar, but i would get higher rear springrate with stock swaybar

unless you bought custom spring rates put the front springs on the front and the rear springs on the rear... otherwise it will handle funny.....
if you have the ground control's and you want more oversteer, buy some stiffer ERS springs.. with more rear bias...
