Im about to upgrade my suspension (finaly) and im wondering how well RS*R race springs works with KYG AGX adjustable shocks? the springs seem to lower the car well enough, and the spring rate is pretty stiff (5kg/mm f and 4.8kg/mm r). Good coilovers are a bit too pricey and the full adjustablity isn't a big deal to me, so will this combo work well? also should I upgrade my pillowball/strut mounts (whatever they are called) at the same time? thanks im kinda new to suspension stuff

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH hahha j/k. Seriously though Sorry to hear about your friend . My friends used to call me old man purdy cause in highschool they would get into my locker and mess with stuff, and when I found them I'd hurle my knapsack at them and they would yell "oh shi* its old man purdy" and run off................ yeah we were kinda retarded. Im ony 22 btw the name kinda stuck with me.

1g!! wow thats sweet Im not expecting to pull that but geez thats what a stock C5 Z06 pulls isn't it? Im going to upgrade my tie rod ends soon also probably get Tein ones along with a front strut bar and sway bars. Does getting a stiffer front sway bar really increase understeer alot or is it nothing to worry about?

for future referance, we have a wheels/tires/suspension/brake forum that a question like yours would belong in. you will get some better responses from people who know a ton about suspension and dont browse the general forums

Mine made me overstear. Then I got my wider wheels and messed with the damper rate... I have fronts on full hard 4-4 and the rears are 7-8.

It makes for kinda a suck ride if you are looking for any comfort. But my car is very 50-50 now and I can kick out the back while pulling hard corners without to much fear of loosing the whole thing. Just ease off and the backend pulls back in. Super nice to be able to pull hard in corners... Just watch out when boost hits... That can catch you by suprise if you are already near the limit.
