Full Version: Can I use 165lb springs with stock front sway bar?

I pretty much have a stock setup, Bilstein shocks 140lbs sprins and stock sway bar up front only. I have a pair of 165s that I am considering putting on, but I do not want to upgrade anything else at this time. Should I stay with the 140 or is it ok to move up to the 165s? I remember something about 140s being the max with stock front sway bar. Please advise.

Thanks,

Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year everyone!

Try it...if you experience oversteer, put the 140 lb springs back.
Bilstiens are not stock, they are gas shocks and pretty stiff ones at that.
You may be ok.
I have 180 lb rears, stock torsion bars up front and I can remove my sway bar and the car handles fine...
I also have bilstein shocks which makes a big difference.
