Are springs enough?

[Drivebai]

Hey all,

My car R33 GTST pretty much has standard suspension setup, except my rear shocks were worn so i replaced them about a year ago.

I'm not after anything too drastic, and i'm not too fussed about getting my car lowered, but i was wondering if getting firmer springs will make my car handle abit better.. at the moment i can feel the car roll when you go around corners.

I went for a ride in a mates R33 who has a suspension setup and the handling was like 10 times better. I'm not after anything like that but just wanted to know if just getting stiffer springs will increase the handling at all.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Stiffer springs will improve handling, at least to start with. They may put to much load on the factory shocks and will wear them out quicker.

To do the job properly spings and shocks should be matched and installed together.

HEy Tipper,

thanks for the advice man, really appreciate it.

If you only want the "going round corners" bit, then upgrade the sway bars. Upgrading the springs will affect (reduce) ride comfort as well.

im with blind_elk .. upgraded anti roll bars (swaybars) will increase the tension rate of the springs only when going around corners! not expensive, and make a huge difference and are tunable (whiteline blade adjustables) .. without affecting straight line rates very much!
