I see, I have almost the same setup as you do, but I have OMP strut tower brace instead...and yeah..swapped out these annoying, soft IPD springs long time ago. Got a set of H&R lying around, why not?

I don't think my ride is that harsh, not as bad as my 240 with all the IPD goodies and etc. Maybe you should give H&R and Koni shocks a try, I know H&R has much less lean in the corners.

> since it's a big sedan trying to be a sports car, which it isn't.

Actually it's a coupe.....

Well, only handling complaint I have for the car is that it understeers badly at high speed..probably just b/c it's a heavy FWD car.

By the way, did you notice much of torque steer when you took it to the track?

I'm still not satisfied with its handling...maybe I'll need a AWD or RWD for my next car.
