    these are for stiffer suspention? more sporty? or less bodyroll?
    i wonder if the US mirage /space star would get the same or even more comfortable suspenstion

    Torsion beam is just the style of suspension. The spring can be around the rear shock or next to it. I think its cheaper/easier to work on with the spring next to it though.

    New springs will reduce body roll, but it mainly stiffens up the suspension. Sway bars are used more so to reduce body roll.
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    Just enjoy the car for a year or two then change the suspension unless you want to use the car for rallying or racing

    Just a question.
    Since the rear can't have coilovers, is it worth getting coilover front and lowered rear spring?
    Or should I just get front and rear lowered springs?
