More aggressive stance.... lower front, raise rear??

its not hard choose an aggressive front spring and a set of drag springs and you'll be fine

Ditch the skinnies up front if this is a street driven car. Put them on at the track when you get there. Over 85% of the braking is done by the front wheels and all of the steering input from the steering wheel. In a slippery pavement or emergency situation you cease to be a driver and become a passenger along for a scary, dangerous ride. No front traction while braking or steering is a bad thing.

now that the saftey lesson is over. What i would do in your shoes is ditch the front springs and get a set of coilovers and see how that looks, and if that dosent get you where you want to be get a weight jacker lower control arm in the rear so your stance would be 100% adjustable

This is a street driven car, and did some handling and braking tests when i put them on. Truthfully.... I was expecting alot worse. It did quite well with the skinnys up front.

Coilovers for the front sounds good. Maybe i can find someone that is selling just a pair.... might be hard. Unless I can find someone that wants to split a full set? hmmm...

plenty of companies sell front kits, the rear coilovers dont work well in stock location, check out team z motorsports, they sell a strange coilover kit for a good price

yea, basically from what i have read from reliable sources nobody makes a good stock shock location REAR coilover, and weight jackers work for ride height but arent ideal for making suspension work. On a slower car i think it is less important but when you start running single digit 1/4 mile times things get more complicated.

cut the front springs, i had the same springs as you and i hated my stand too, ide cut a coil off the front. see the hose clamp method thread for more input haha

sidenote: my skinnies were fine on a street car with no sway bar. up until my passenger one blew out on the highway, but thats a different story.

More aggressive stance.... lower front, raise rear??
