Most tail happy lowering springs?
So what is the most tail happy set of lowering springs out there? Is it just between TRD and Swift springs FR-S spec to consider? Looking for around but not more than a 1 inch drop

Also how changes in alignment affect handling. Especially rear toe out.

http://partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum.php They wont sell you springs, but if you're willing to listen they can help you learn how to do what you're probably trying to do with some degree of sanity. |

Wouldn't a different rear sway bar affect the "tail happiness" more?

If you want more tail hapy, put shitty tires on the rear and have fun
