    Switch to 350/450 springs and turn the stiffness in the front down. I'm running a similar setup on my daily and the ride is perfect. It will be a ton cheaper just to swap springs. You can soften the front shocks now and it will be tremendously different.

    Nice car. Enjoy your RWD. You honestly won't go back.

      Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look into that. I didn't really notice the difference in RWD until a few days of driving it. I took a wide left turn (perhaps a little fast) and the back started to swing out. Involuntary drifting if you will. :)

          Great deal for what you payed. It looks like it needs very little at all.

            I would NOT recommend going lower spring rates than what you have. I ran 375/475 and I hated it. I actually wanted to bump up to the springs you have now. I guess it's all a matter of opinion but I was also super low so I needed the stiffer spring rates.
