Better (stiffer) springs for handling? Opinions please.

[Schudini]

Ok, I checked my SPID and found I have FE3 suspension with FUW front springs and RDH rear spring (monoleaf) on my 92 GP coupe.

 

I want to set my car up for better handling (possibly autocross), so I understand I need stiffer springs. I'm not looking to lower the car (or raise it for that matter), so that's not a factor. I've done some searching on the site, so I know I'm going to upgrade the sway bar and get KYB struts and some strut tower braces.

 

 

What non-lowering performance front springs are available (aftermarket) or should I try to find a stiffer factory spring (are KPB springs available from junkyards, parts stores, etc.)?

 

At GMPD, I found FYA, CJK, FXT, AND FUX front springs. Anybody have these (opinions on handling, ride quality, etc.)

 

 

For the rear, what # rating is the RDH spring? What is the stiffest factory spring available? I was unable to find any rear springs on GMPD.

 

 

To summarize, what are the best spring options for tighter handling (without a ridiculously hard ride).

I sent you a pm, I've got rear monoleafs that are stiffer then stock if interested.

[Schudini]

So I'm probably going to get the 300 from tdaye, but what would be a good setup for the front -- FXT, CJK, or FYA?

 

 

I'm thinking the FXT (I want as close to even front/rear stiffness as possible), but would really appreciate anyone's opinions.

 

Thanks.

I can't believe nobody has an opinion on this.

I just went w/ ST springs....they are pretty stiff.....

Stiffest stock springs I've experienced are the ones in the TGP, but they were FUZ.

Stiffest stock springs I've experienced are the ones in the TGP, but they were FUZ.

 

 

What is your opinion of those springs (ride quality, harshness, handling, etc.) Also, do you know what rear spring the FUZ were paired with?

[GnatGoSplat]

They are pretty stiff, nice tight cornering. Ride quality is not too bad. They were paired with an RHH rear spring.
