Feather Lights or the original CO's? What sway bars are you running?

Not a Z but...I run Feather Lights on my car with PFADT 3 piece Street/Track bars.

I run the CO's at 7 front and 10 rear. I want to make sure I use all the available travel. I ran another major brand of CO's and they had almost an inch less travel and would bottom trying to control the 345's I run on the rear. I had to crank up the preload on the spring and push the dampening setting up so high the car rode like crap. With the Feather Lights the ride is not much stiffer than a stock Z suspension but the car handles like a gokart.

Run some bigger sway bars and I think you'll find you can back off the dampening settings and end up with a better balanced car.
