Progress Comp II coil-overs!
Stop the Beast
Band Wagon
These things are amazing! I ordered them with 350/450 spring rates and they are perfect for city driving (ride height is lowered with a shorter strut body so the dampers have plenty of travenl) and stiff enough to eliminate a good amount of transfer on hard launches.
I took the car apart last night and a friend of mine helped me re-install the new coil-over system, it took us about an hour and a half to get it all back together. At first I was really disappointed because I was getting huge, almost dangerous, amounts of over-steer. However, I realized the oversteer was coming from the 225/50-15 tires on the front Rotas C8s I had purchased from a co-worker the day before. He has 205/50-15s on the rear and the front tires were just dominating. Once I learned how to compensate for the large tires all was well. The wagon feels much more stable now too, I took her to 110mph last night. Before at that speed the stock suspension would float and lane changes were scary at best.
I'm going out today to get some 205/50-15 BFG G-force Sports for the front, and hopefully that will nearly elminate the over-steer.

+1 for pics please.
is too big for the wagon..plus that 50 sidewall in my opinion is too big.
the widest i'd recommend are 205's or 215's.
it doesn't make much sense in going too wide cuz then you'll suffer on the road.
Finally, after three years, I've loggd back in to post pics (of a car I no longer have, but still amazing suspension)...
Need to fire up my account again because I got my eye on another one of the lil guys.
