What to use with 12 Bolt? I installed a monsterous Moser 12 bolt in my 99 SS last summer and it destroyed the cars balance. I don`t think the stock suspension hardware is at all up to the task of controling such a heavy piece. Before I put it away for winter, I hit a high speed bump and damn near spun out. It felt like the suspension bottomed out. I never experianced that with the 10 bolt.
All that being said, what springs do you guys suggest? I`m going to get the koni`s from Strano, do you think his springs are the best choice to handle the added wieght? This is just a street car by the way. I`m only looking to make this car handle like what I think an SS should handle like, and that is pretty well.

What does it feel like exactly?? I was gonna start saving for a 12 bolt after my H/C etc.. and torque converter and tranny cooler install. Does it affect the balance and handling of the car? I go to the strip but really enjoy the twisties so i think i need to look into this more. Don't mean to hijack. Maybe I need to start a thread on this? hmmmm........
