Laziness is a disease 
Looking for springs
Looking for springs I am looking at replacing my springs, but I do not really want to lower my car. Are than any better springs out there than just stock replacement ones that will not lower the car?

I am looking to firm up the ride alittle bit. the car has 165,xxx on it and I believe that the springs are stock. I have already put SLP Bilsteins on the car and it rides better. I still think that the rear is sagging though. As I said in my top post I really dont want to lower the car much. i was thinking maybe doing the heater hose mod but not remove the isolator, on a set of lowering springs.
You've got to figure out if the springs you have are sagging. I get you don't want to lower it, but if it's sagging it's already lower. And there aren't really stiffer stock height springs (which, if it's sagging, could raise it).
I might suggest a set of sway bars to gain a bunch of roll stiffness and make the car firmer that way and quicker to respond. But that won't firm the actual ride rate up.

He just put on a set of new SLP Bilstein's as I recall.

Verdad Gallardo I may look into that too. I say I want a firmer ride, but the shocks did really help with that. I think I am looking to firm the launch of the car more than the ride. I know that a TA will help that too, its something I want to do as well.
