see, that's the thing.....the Konis are designed to work with the stock springs/stock sways. So if we add the evo sways for example, how do we know the rates will match up? At least we know the Nismo stuff is matched by the factory. I hate to spend money where I don't need to, but I also want my car to behave correctly. The time to find out that shocks/springs/sways are incorrect for each other is NOT when you're pushing the car near its limit. Just my two cents.

BJ is running the stock springs/stock Track rims with the Konis & 350Evo sways as we speak. All his comments are based on this setup.

When Koni did the testing with the car it had the 350EVO sway bars installed on it. They borrowed the car for two days of testing. They were very complementry on our sway bars.

I think the thing some people are forgetting is that the new Konis are performance shocks! the vavling is far better than the OEM suspension.

Would I be ok then if I went with RSR springs and 350EVO sways now and then bought the Konis in a few months when they are available or would I simply be better off waiting for the Koni spring/strut and 350EVO package? I suppose I could hang on for a bit longer if needed but if the RSR springs will work just fine then I might go that route. Will the Koni springs be linear or progressive?? Any ideas what their predicted spring rate will be? I want a linear setup.

What is your recommendation for purchasing this package and when will it be available (roughly)? I guess what I am getting at is should I be on the list for those Konis now on the preorder or will there be a "package" about the same time, March, that will be as good a price or possibly better? I would want the linear springs with a drop but no more than 0.8" front and back.

Furthermore, S-Tune will acheive exactly what you are looking for. It does not lower the car much and the alignement can be put back into spec. It handles MUCH better and will cure about 85% of the bounce. I LOVE mine and am totally happy with my decision to install it. Seriously, the S-Tune is the answer. Let me know if you need help on the price but check with Performance first.

Have you had any more tire feathering problems since installing the s tune?
