Back again
Rear spring upgrade & FSB re-install.
Any chance of a Bias % of the current install as not the same spring rates front and rear..
Any needs to swap springs front to rear<though this current set up feels very good now and stability is lots better>
<close too OEM 07/ 08 MY Bias> is the hope here ??
600LB rear coil spring <Falkner><because $45 each>
571LB front coil spring<Ohlins>
392 FSB<CR>
311 RSB <Oem 04MY>
25lb lighter on exhaust silencers so rear overhang as using Tanabe G, it effects bias also.but how much ?
would be very helpful if you could help please @Car Analogy
Thankyou

I got this eibach front bar and the 04 rear Bar with the ohlins and some roll center adjusters in the rear, front offset camber joints and its a dream to drive, might get the swift springs you got aswell - let us know how you like them once installed.

Square wheel setup? Which setting are you using on the eibach fsb? I plan on running this exact setup, minus the rear RCA/ball joints.

Im running advan gt's 18x10 et40 front and rear with 275/35's and the eibach fsb is in the stiffest hole (the hole for smooth tracks), my car is an ap1

now that ive had a chance to track the car a bit id think (atleast from my testing results) id say the ohlins dfv comes with maybe (what feels like to me) a bit to soft of springs possibly. Id like to try the car with some new springs next track season. just my findings personally tho.

Thanks @ CarAnalogy for posting those different scenarios.
Do you have a link to that Excel spreadsheet? I would love to play out a couple different scenarios with different sway/spring setups.

I have a 2006 with stock sway bars (300 front; 311 rear) and Ohlin DFV Coilovers with 10/8 Springs. I want to reduce body roll some more. I bought a set of the Swift 12lb springs from Patrick at Urge Designs but have not yet installed them.

Would it be better to install the Swift 12lb springs so I would have 12lb front/10 rear OR leave 10/8 current springs and install the bigger CR front sway bar?
I have 10/8 DFVs (that I bought from Patrick at Urge). I've since picked up 12lb Swift springs from SakeBombGarage (SBG). I also got SBG's DFV tophats and lowering cups. I went with 12/10 6 months ago and couldn't be happier with how little roll I have (stock 2002 AP1 sway bars) and yet how nice the ride quality is on the street. At times I do notice just a bit of vibration in the driver's side mirror area though, but I have a 2.4L in a pretty modified 2002 AP1 (intake, TB, IM, header, exhaust, diff) so if you have a mostly stock 2006 you likely wouldn't experience that vibration.

Also, even though I have SBG's lowering cups I'm not running my car low to the ground. I used the rear lowering cups to set SBG's recommended preload (from SBG's consulting). So my ride height is actually half an inch higher that stock.

Wait...why'd you buy the cups if you wanted the ride height so tall?
