It corners well on the streets with just a front sway bar, but has a lot of oversteer when pushed to the limits. I figure having a softer, (81% of stock) front sway bar will reduce the oversteer, as well as having a softer, (79% of stock) rear sway bar.

The biggest change however will probably be changing the rear springs to 6k. Using 6k springs front and rear, and softer sway bars should provide a balanced, softer, yet responsive, street handling machine, (by that I mean "pothole handling" machine).

As I mentioned earlier, I had an air suspension setup on my car, but just could not get it adjusted right to give me a good ride. I won't go back to air for one simple reason. Air suspension doesn't have adjustable preload, period. Any attempt to adjust preload just raises the car up, limiting the shock travel, worsening the ride. Sad but true for all types of air suspension.

Did you ever try swapping the springs, or was there not enough adjustment in the coilovers to account for the different spring lengths?
