Those spring rates will work fine. You haven`t done anything to address the terrible front suspension geometry. I`d suggest fixing that before you throw money at it in the form of bars and such because once it`s improved your requirements will change. Since you`ve got 20 year old stock ball joints I`d suggest our Stage 2 package with tall modular ball joints and adj. upper arms. The corrected geometry and new alignment specs make a huge difference. If you already have the 1" rear bar put it on. These cars have a great deal of factory understeer and the rear bar will help some. The installed rate is so low it can`t do any harm. As Denny said,so a search on the poly bushed tubular rear arms. They`re counterproductive. The QA1s are fine. We have them on one of our cars. They`re not what they used to be though (when they were HAL or soon after QA1 bought them) since they`re now being made in China with an eye on profit more than performance. Still good bang for the buck though. I agree with Denny that the Kumho Ecstas are a good value in a performance tire. I have them on my daily driver. I can`t speak for the Toyos because I have no experience with them. I can heartily recomend Michelin Pilot Sports and Bridgestone S03 Pole Positions though. Mark SC&C
