Thx! But you still feel the Bilstein B6s have a more compliant damping and more neutral handling compared to the early GT86 stuff ('13)?

I'm on TRD Rally springs lol. Will make a post soon.

Those are pretty stiff springs (stiffer than Yellows), but with +10mm ride height from stock.

How does this combo handle on road? Better than stock?

Still on winter tires. It's looking like winter is almost over here so I'll probably swap my summers on within the month (which means it will then snow).

Definitely feels "playful" but the limit with these winter tires is super gradual and kind of hilarious. So yeah, I'll update with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s.

Anyway, it's firm for sure...even with the slight bit of taller ride and more travel I wouldn't describe it as extra comfortable.

Do you get more bodyroll on the rally springs vs the Yellows? Or do the fact that they're stiffer compensate for the 10mm extra height?
