I have rb's springs, they are way stiffer then stock, I have autox then once in the rain and the car handles very well. I have alot of other mods to my suspension but the springs are a good place to start.

Why not try RSR race springs, or Tanabe GF-210. Both drop the car about 1.5"...


I think out of the two the RSR are stiffer, but the Tanabe are good for the money.
