Default Extra weight in Sc430...

I'm having suspension issues. I have the new 08 Tein Suspension on my 02 Sc430. With the extra customization, I've also added more weight to the car. Mostly in the rear. The car bounces and sways where it almost feels like I'm going to lose control of the car. Any suggestions besides taking the excess weight out? Is there a spring that will work with my tein that supports the weight and stops the swaying? any other options?

Thanks,
GuN

Stop driving like a maniac?

Haha, just kidding. Yes, I believe there are firmer springs available that you would be able to use. Also, get some sway bars.

Exactly how much does that "custom" sound system weigh? 400 pounds?!?

Lets say around 300lbs. Any suggestions on stiffer springs?

I believe Tein USA also sells optional stiffer springs for your CS/CST, a few members here have those already.

Daizen sway bars should help a lot and I think you can even get Tom's LCB.
