[QUOTE="r3dn3ck, post: 261696, member: 9214"] Your suspension needs help from someone that knows how to set up suspension. Maximum motorsports adjustable sway bar is really great but expensive. Otherwise, a eibach rear bar may or may not fix your problem (it could make things entirely worse). You need to define better if you want to loosen the rear so it steps out easier, or add grip to the front cuz it's plowing through turns. Given the extra low ride height, I'm betting it's plowing. Try adding some front sway bay (eibach or steeda) stiffness, and then work your way up to stiffer sway bar in back, then stiffer springs in front then in back. Remember, if you have too much rate in back it'll spin with little or no provocation and it'll do it under "snap oversteer" circumstances. From experience... snap anything sucks ass. FWIW for HPDE type driving I use (with 4.6L engines) 350# springs in front which rides still great but the turn-in is a little tighter and it holds the turn better, and for the street I use 25lb higher rate rear coil over springs with a milder (93 cobra) rear sway bar. It's a good idea to have a few different parts of each type around if you do any sort of racing so you can swap the little bits to make it handle better for the course you're running. I just finished slapping in my 5.4 and now I'm having to put 375# springs in front and 275's in back (from 350/300). That gives me back my turn-in and plants the back end a little harder to it doesn't spin as easy with the added torque. [/QUOTE]
