This is with the Whiteline 27mm front bar installed.

Only a stiffer spring will help lateral-g like this.

Only have the Whiteline front bar. But yes, not oem.

But the springs, shocks, rear sway, camber... is.

Question

Is there such thing as... coil-overs which is as smooth of a ride as OEM sport package?

This would interest me. As well as keeping OEM-ish height. I'm already destroying the cans of my FI exhaust as i drive/scrape.

I have powertrix r/t with the swift spring upgrade, I think 12k/11k. The handling is improved, and the comfort is comparable to stock, which is a great achievement considering the crap roads in Abilene, TX. As far as keeping it stock height, most coilovers will, but you'd probably be best off contacting Sprint for new springs and getting aftermarket shocks...this would keep full travel and improve handling, but would cost the same or more than the coilovers, and is done less frequently, so you would probably need to get the new shocks revalved for the new springs as well.

Your scraping at stock height? Do you have the gen 2 system?

Negative Ghost Rider, gen1.

Both FI cans are torn open at the very bottom.
New axle-back from FI is $600.
