Might have to do that. I was thinking of finding a place that sells springs in varying rates. But I'm not sure how to go about that and get good results. I'd like to go fairly stiff in the front, around 400# or so, and a little less in the rear. As far as the shocks, I thought I'd start with the koni adjustables set at firm, then adjust from there, or if it doesn't work well with the stiff springs, then get them custom valved.

I definitely want to further brace the car as well, but I'm not sure what the clearance issues are with the v8 in place. Can I run the IPD strut brace and lower brace?

Does anybody make a brace for the rear struts?

Not too excited about poly bushings, I've heard that they can tend to bind up and prevent proper movement. I'd rather go from quality rubber -> straight metal and skip the poly. I'll stick with rubber for now.

Thanks for the reply.
