Default Me too Mark...Cy knows what my car feels like now at the limit from the passenger's point of view

so there will be two opinions on the new springs after Sept 9. From what I'm told this setup might not need a stiffer rear sway bar. I can't imagine that to be true...but maybe just an upgrade from non sport to OEM sport might be enough...we'll find out for sure on the 9th.

I'm thinking you're right re: the sway bar - given the spring rates, the stock sport bar shoud be gd
