GS400 Suspension Upgrade?
I drive the car hard. I race stock cars. Did some auto cross and road racing. The GS is too sloppy when pushed to it's limits. I owned a number of Pontiac Trans Am's (75-79). Won alot of trophies. I want it to handle.
Any Input?

Check out the top most post in this section...titled "Coilover Spring Rates - Not all coilovers are for racing only!"
You can get coilovers by a company called Reckless in Japan (the model is Quantum). It's the stiffest coilover system there is. Made for racing.
You can also get sway bars, STB's, and the full TOM'S suspension package (Front LCB, Rear LCB, and 6-piece link kit).
I have all the mods listed above (but with H&R coilovers which are geared more towards street than track since this is a daily driver) and the car handles awesome. (Oh, I also have the TRD Front LCB istead of the TOM'S one...but I'm switching it out soon.)
You can also try doing some more searching (use the SEARCH function) and reading some of the boards...there is plenty of info there....

I have most of the stuff except the rear LCB and 6 Piece.. which is on my shopping list for this summer.
As far as coilover? Depend how stiff you want and how much you want to pay.. Best bang for the buck...Tein Type HA adjustable coilover. Stiffer than most of the coilover..
Read manaray's post to see the spring rate.

I'm looking at the coil overs. Where's the best place to buy them?
