If I had 700/800 tracksport springs, would you trade your 600/700s or similar?

Not sure what kind of driving you do, or what yur style is, but I have the 6/7's with Intrax ARB's..and with the exception of the slightest bit of understeer, these are perfect!!

I am thinking of going to 750's in the rear, just for giggles...see if I can get the understeer out.

I don't doubt that you are uncomfortable on the 7/8's...I think it is the 700 spring rate in the front that is a killer...

Default I'm on H&Rs now, but just found a good deal on a used set of tracksports

spring rates aren't what I want, though. I'll probably pass.

Use a bigger rear bar to get the understeer out.

Default Have you seen the Intrax ARB's??

they are big *** bars!! And a bigger rear bar would be counter productive, effectively locking up the independant rear.

Nix on the bar. In fact, the best solution would be remove the bars and go with higher spring rates front and rear. However, US spec roads conspire against you..

Street tuning becomes a delicate juggling act. I believe a 50 - 75lb spring increase will do it, and not compromise comfort.
