bought pair of 140 lbs. progressive rear springs. car is fitted with stock front and rear sway bars. is spring rate so high that rear sway bar is not needed or desirable? running 195/60/15 tires thanks. |

Long story short...
Get the right spring rate for your application and use Anti-roll (also called "sway") bars to tune. |

very much appreciate all the responses.
tried to be specific regarding my application (rallye), so if there is something i need to add pls let me know. dan-special thanks for your detail. shocks are new KYB and i believe the torson (why do you care about age here, is it the bushings?)and sway bars are stock. car has 85K miles on it. how would i know if the rear springs are stock? given the above and my application, would i, as a general matter, be better off replacing the rear springs (w/140 lbs)and removing the rear sway bar. many thanks again. |
