Sway bar is tightened down. No worries. David gave it the Jewbacca test tonight and he likes the springs. He said he would put them on his car. I think his words were " they are a little better than stock". After I cleaned out my shorts I was very happy with his eval. No rubbing either.

Official david1 report:
the car looks just right from a stance point of view and the springs look to progressive in the design and have a good amount of noise protection material on the springs. I don't know what the spring rates are but I would say by the but-o-meter that they are about 12% stiffer in the front and about 20% stiffer in the rear. Body roll is better controlled and I could put power down sooner than in my S around the same corners. (the car is still driftable) The car is more stable under trail braking into a nice long corner starting at about 110 mph, braking to a 75-80 mph corner and was still able to power out of it, where in mine I have to more or less just try to maintain the momentum. The lack of (less) brake dive than stock was also very noticable. This is where I think Ray left his own skid marks
Also, to me, the car feels like it rides better. In the past, people would slam the Nuespeed springs, but these must be a newer version and they felt like they matched up to the stock shocks very nicely.
I give the springs an 8 out of 10. It is probably not possible to get a perfect 10 out of springs since they would need to be alot stiffer at the sacrifice of ride.
