swapping 08 damper/springs into an 05
I just bought my 2005 and am thinking long term -- there is a set of low mileage 08 springs/dampers for sale locally and I was wondering if I should pick them up for a possible swap. Now or in the future after the current dampers blow. Do people swap the higher rate 08 springs into early AP2s? Is it worth easy and worth it? I've noticed a small amount of wallow and body roll at moderate speeds and I assume the 08 springs would help that.

most people (if sticking with oem stuff) will go with CR springs/shocks/sways...honestly though, I don't see the juice being worth the squeeze. For the same money you can get a set of koni yellows and swift spec r's...which imho is a much better performing combo and provides adjustability.
That said, CR stuff excluded, the 08-09 had the best performing springs of an ap2 year.

I'm not looking for a drop and still need my car streetable, though. Also, the local price is pretty low. Maybe I'm answering my own question at this point. Thanks for the input!
