    How much bouncier would the drive be from GC 450 to 525 in the fronts?

      You won't like them, I use 450 with my swap and no issues, found the 525s to be a little too harsh for my liking.

        I went from 550 to 500 and I'm much happier.

            I am starting to hate them.

            Interesting!

            I have the same setup as before as my old car with newer components(shocks, bushings, CABs,....) but didnt think 75lbs for each inch of compression would make it ride like shit.

            I get this weird seesaw effect with bouncing front to back. I have adjusted the shocks from - to + and inbetween and it doesnt go away. So I am guessing it is the springs.

            Thnx for the input guys.

                I just changed my springs to swift 450 front and 550 rear (8k f 10k r) from 8kf/8kr and it was a huge difference. Feels much more composed in the rear especially. I think thats a pretty popular setup. If anything people play with 500-650lb rear springs to better suite their shock.
