Yea the springs are going, and soon too. Been planning on swapping, currently I'm just running Skunk2 springs... which for DD or even a spirited drive have treated me fine but it is too low, and I could feel that bounce you're talking about. It'd actually be really interesting to see what my body roll/flex looks like from an outsiders perspective. I'm planning on running Swift Spec R springs next.

I knew the tires were an issue, the Sumitomo HRTZ3's are great tires for the money and make for a helluva DD tire, but when you're tossing it around like that it's easy to see where they fall short. All in All I'm pretty happy with my runs, one things for sure though if I may toot my own horn... I was pleasantly happy with my throttle control/input, and thought I was going to spin on my 2nd run, but I was able to keep it together.

I think those springs are also pretty stiff for stock shocks. Do you know what KG's they are?

Off the top of my head I do not, even more-so is that it's not your typical Skunk2 configuration. I'll dig a little bit.

Question: If say I got my Swift's and went with an aftermarket shock, would I be able to use the OEM tophats? or is that sort of an application specific question?

You can use the stock hats with almost anything. Bilstein, kW & Koni as well as many others use stock hats.

P.S. You shouldn't be in any condition right now to give suspension advice

But as usual, I appreciate it

43.8xx clean afternoon fun runs not so well. I think the course slowed down throughout the day vs the normal getting quicker.

I guess I wasn't the only one who left feeling less than enthralled
