i have ground force fronts and some ahem...modified progress rears. (done legit this time). i trashed the coilover rear thing cause one of the struts bent.
the progress rears are great since the spring's rate is higher than normal, but my ground force fronts are mooshy and me no likey. i am talking about spring rates. let's discuss overall what i can do to stiffen my front end.

What struts are you running? Changing out to a set of koni inserts will help out the spongy feel. I had sportlines and konis on my LT with stock sway and twb, thing handled like a gokart and wasnt spongy at all. But then again I think sportlines have a higher spring rate.

yeah didnt kno u could get adjustable stabilizer ends?? or are u talking about Tie rod ends?? if so all those do is control your alignment angles , but the stabilizer bar controls your side forces when doing sharp turns or going over bumps mabey getting a stiffer stabilizer bar might help? or a strut tower bar? if thats what your talking bout

i have a strut tower bar, i'm saying the end links on the stabilizer bar i've seen them come adjustable. i've never even looked into what the hell a stabilizer bar does for your suspension, i just fix it if it looks broken lol.
