Remove the LS1 and drop in a 1.5 honda engine and you should be good

I would go with Lovells springs. They are cheaper and in my opinion handle better :-D

Like mentioned you can use our BMR drag bags to not only help with the back end of the car dropping when you are accelerating but they will also help out immensely with the wheel hop. The drag bags are easy to install and inexpensive.

Instead though I went with BC coilovers on all 4, Lovells springs would work fine as well. Unfortunately we all suffer from saggy stock springs eventually.

I had Lovells but since I am AutoX and roadracing I did upgrade to Kings HHD but for DD and spirited driving Lovells are great.

My 05 goat with 47,000 miles on it when I bought it around last september already had the common sagging rear springs issue. So I just replaced stock springs with stock height lovells myself, it was easy btw and rides great now. It has a better natural stance now since it raised the rear a hair like it should be. It just feels better, now I just need to do the front soon.

I dont auto x or drag, I use it as a DD car so if you DD the goat then just get the cheaper price wise lovells.

I have Lovells 20mm drop springs AND drag bags and altho the car handles and accelerates fine the back end still squats down when I get on it hard. It is noticeably less than the weak stock springs did but they'll always squat and go a little bit.

My drag bags finally cured my wheel hop after doing a full pedders rear suspension & Harrop diff cover. One of the best mods I ever did and the least expensive.

+1 on the drag bags, i have a stalled A4, so wheel hop was never a huge issue, but the saggy rear end was! I put the drag bags in, and no more saggy rear end, and the little wheel hop i have is gone! the BMR drag bags are well worth EVERY penny
