Jay,
Going fine thank you, just been really busy with two jobs and finding time working on the car.
Anyways, to be honest i can't compare the new set-up with what the stock springs feel like. Reason being the entire front suspention was adressed, this includes the following:
-New Koni Yellow Inserts (convertion fron oil to gas pressured shocks)
-New Hardware for Koni Conversion
-New Weltmiester 200lbs Springs
-New upper strut mounts (early style)
-New upper strut mount seals
-New Koni bump stops
-New front and rear sway bar bushings
-New Bridgestone G3 Tires (not available in USA)
-All wheel alignment
-All wheel balancing
Everything was purchased from Paragon (with the exception of tires offcourse), i believe Skip was on vacation during that time, and i delt with Jason and/or Chuck (if i am not mistaken), or was it the other way around?
It was a heavy package, believe it weight in at 40lbs or so in total.
I will say this, the car had one heck of a vibration at 60kpr (37mph) and upwards. Even after balancing the wheels, the problem presisted. That is when i talked to Jason and ordered all thos eparts and carried out the job, as well as anything else i forgot to mention as "while you are in there". The OEM springs where 'fine', but there was a rumor that the PO had cut the springs to lower the car, so i ordered new ones instead. Ever since then, the car never had any issues with suspention at all.

Problem is that it's too stiff for our roads here. I want to go

without compromising the handling too much. What about
250 lb F & 26mm R torsion bar ?
Thanks for your advice
