Just installed H&R springs... concerned
I just installed H&R springs and I am not sure I am happy
 It seems the suspension is a lot more “loose” and there is more body roll. It could be my imagination, but the car does not seem as stable as before. I thought lower/stiffer springs would improve handling? Has anyone else experience this ?

+1 - after i installed Bilsteins the ride was a lot firmer. When i first installed them they were not settled in yet and the ride was slightly higher than oem..but they settled after a couple months. The oem shocks just don't cut it if you are aiming for a much improved handling

+1. I think that that a springs-only setup is primarily for looks, not handling. I have Eibachs paired with OEM ZSP shocks, and the ride quality and handling feels worse than before.
