    I'm not sure what's in the shopping cart for Summit Racing, but the other two links look fine to me. I'd recommend going a little beefier than the Festiva GR-2's if you're into racing or autocross though... there's information up on these forums for those options - none of which is a direct bolt-on.

          haha kk thanks man, why is it better to have stiffer or softer springs?

            stiffer=better handling

            softer= smoother ride

            Larger wheels, and wider tires will help both of these

                  wow... i thought my car was bad...lol... and stiffer isnt always better... some degree of flex is needed to keep maximum handling...
                  I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!

                    I wanna say they are 300 fronts and like 250 in back...... and they kill my back! I've since put in a 4000 watt syste. So the weight in the back helps a lot! And I'm running gr-2 struts. in that video I was running 205-60-14 bfg drags in the front and stock 12's in the rear so that's partly why the rear hopped so bad lol

                      do you think 150 in front and back is good?

                        I have 175 front 150 rear 8" springs with coilover sleeves/collars on KYB GR-2's. Handling is great... very smooth, comfortable, but performance driven. I'm just updating my build thread right now with how slammed it is... check back there in like 10 minutes. I also have a few other suspension mods, but the shocks and springs are the big part of that performance haha.
