I think I am regretting my spring selection

Definitely the sway bars eliminate the majority of the lean. That was the most night and day difference suspension wise thus far on my car. With the coilovers working in tandem the car will remain relatively flat. However, I don't have a datalogger to give a percentage. I am hoping to get a track day in early of next year to be able to test the difference with the upgrade to the suspension at Barber.

It's good to hear the increase in performance with these coilovers. Since these get lumped into the all show no go category by some it would be an interesting comparison to see how these performed against say the kw v3's.

Hey Cossie what did you use as rear rates? Are they true coils or are they shock/spring OEM mounting?

That is quite unfortunate.

For me, springs and shocks have always been the difference in body roll.

To be fair I did upgrade to Swift springs. So there may not be as dramatic of a difference between stock with just a sway bar upgrade and both a spring/sway bar upgrade.
