Default I now realize how good Stasis Tracksports would be on my car...

I have H&R/Bilstein on it now and just put a sway bar on Friday. I noticed during highspeed highway cruising around long arching turns, that weren't perfectly flat gave the rear a bouncing/squatting feeling. It almost felt like the tires were rolling over, but there was no sign of it upon inspecting them. I then thought it must have been the puny stock sway bar. So some time goes by and I finally put on the Neuspeed rear sway. I proceeded to go to one of the turns that has given me the bouncing/squatting feeling to see if the sway bar cured it. Well, it didn't, in fact it gave me a more pronounced bouncing/squatting feeling. I've come to the conclusion that the feeling is caused by the progressive rate H&R springs being totally compressed in the rear in those type of turns. Does this sound like a viable explanation? I have a feeling linear Stasis springs with more spring weight would totally cure this occurance. What do you guys think?

Even the H&amp;R Street Coilver setup will be significantly better than what you are running.

Really...aside from easier adjustment form the threaded bodies, I think they would be pretty similar

Default There's that much difference between the separates and the c/os? I thought...

the spring rates were slightly higher in the c/os but not so much to make a huge difference. They're still H&amp;R springs and bilstein shocks on the c/os.
