I dropped AC and PS and the car still handles like it's nose heavy.. which it is..
I autox a lot and what not so I am tuned into these things, but I can't say that it handles poorly..

exactly, it wont handle the same as the stock motor, but then again it will still handle pretty good. you have to remember that with a ff car your entire drivetrain is in the front end. not to much wieght in the rear. so it will definately be nose heavy. but will still handle great.

I wonder with the ProgressGroup Spring made specifily for EF with B swaps will make it handle better?
is it just a difference in spring rate?

ITR suspension 
heh Its one option of many.... Or get something made for an EF9/EF8. In other words, gt a suspension designed for a car with a B series engine....

They don't, with the proper suspension setup.
I recommend Ground Control coilovers with custom spring rates for your needs, and Koni Sport dampers.
Don't do it the cheap way and buy a regular brand-name spring like everyone else here is recommending, because then you'll be stuck with spring rates you may not want. Do it right the first time.

Ooh, my car is way tail happy. Probably because of the suspension, but thats just proof you can use suspension to balance out the weight and handling of the car. I'm running Konis/GCs with 425f/600r.
