Thumbs up How to decrease front end lift?


I'm pretty much getting used to the '06 OEM suspension....
it is workable and is very capable for someone who
uses the car just for DD and never track time...in fact you
can push an out-of-the-box OEM S and it's very..very racy!

I struggle in trying to decide if I want to spend for the CR suspension..
I'm sure it's a big improvement but is it just "overkill" for me?

I'm thinking maybe just a Whiteline FSB would make me very happy..
BUT...something I would like to improve with my car is to reduce
front end lift when giving the car a bit of throttle...not WOT mind
you..but just shifting a 4K the front end gets too light!

Any opinions...would the stiffer spring set of the CR help to reduce this?

This just might finally push me over the top to get the CR components.
thanks for feedback...

and plz b/c if you'de rather!

I'm looking to reduce front-end-lift when applying throttle.

I realize when you accelerate that the weight does shift to the rear
therefore making the front end lighter....I'm just wondering if
a stiffer spring set would reduce this phenomena?

Keep in mind I'm on OEM '06 springs

Yes, any stiffer springs will help controll body motion. The CR setup is an improvement, but I would not say it's a big improvement. I have 800/700 lb springs and I still have body roll, so I think you should just learn to live with it.
