            but they feel like POO (way too much spring rate)
            Trees aren't kind to me...

            94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

              Festyboy is right they may actually make you poo if you hit a pot hole, they are very very stiff.

              You could buy some better ground control coilovers I believe, to get a better spring rate.

                  check out these, they seem decent for the price there for a escort gt but im sure they should work too.

                  also look into dropzone coilovers they make a set for the 323 there about 100 bucks and have a life time warranty. I ened up buying a set of the dropzones, and thats what i plan on using with a diffrent spring weight

                    FMS springs are basically shorter stock springs. They may be a bit stiffer but not by much.. -Kyle

                      Dropzone are generic... all thier springs are around 500# ... decent coilover-bodies but you will have to get new springs from ground control...

                          festivamotorsport springs are proven. Slightly lowered ride and comfortable while being sportier than stock.

                            If you want coil overs, buy a kit, toss the (ultra stiff) springs and get some QA1's from Summit. They have a large selection of spring rates. If you're using KYB GR2 struts, skeeters_keeper recommends 150 lb front and 125 lb rear.
