Thanks, Kevin.

How do these compare to the KYB's being offered by another member?  Also, what spring would mate well with these?  Eibach Sportlines, for instance?

The KYB's are not even close. Actually, the similarity stops at the fact that they are adjustable. You won't see KYB's under any race cars running in a major class (there may always be a "freak", but not likely). The KYB's are a reasonable "sporty street shock", but they are not really race ready. This does not make them a bad shock, they have a place as a reasonably priced shock that allows some tuning, but the valving is not calibrated terribly well for our applications based on what I've seen.

I'd not run a sportline spring on any car of mine. They are too low and too soft to be that low. The Eibach pro kit is slightly soft for the height. Again, spring choice comes down to what you want to do with the car. For track use, I'd suggest looking at the Ground Control setup and we can try to guide you towards spring rates once we find out what you intend to run as a package. You need to plan for the whole car and not just "throw parts at it". Or, the Koni DA's will make a car on stock springs 300% better, if you want to lower it, they are excellent for that as well. The shocks will make a huge improvement, even on a stock car (springs and all).

Hope that helps.

That's an imense help. Thank you so much for your patience and indulgence. I suspect I need to use the search function a bit more and read some archives.

What information would you need to have? I really didn't like my SS's tendancy to oversteer into corners. I feel like I'm looking for a lot more tire, and alot less lean.
