| For me it was track. The understeer with eibachs and oem shocks was a total killjoy....and the "bounciness" on sport setting was a total PITA on the street, driving south on 35, even through the new section of interstate south of OKC, was literally like sitting on a trampoline. Now I lived in the Del City side of town and apart from SE44th the roads I frequently used were either brand new or practically new, so the SPL coilovers were not much of a compromise in street comfort....but driving 40 thru downtown or the extension up towards Edmond was awful. In fact after switching to the coilovers I consciously avoided the crosstown overpass. It was intolerable. You dont need to go aftermarket sways to control body roll. At least not with the SPL's, and I find it hard to believe that the threshold for controlled vs too much body roll occurs right between the two. Also another thing.....if you are complaining about road comfort, the last thing you want to do is get bigger sway bars. Just as they stop body roll, they are going to inhibit bump/shock absorption on individual sides. Basically unless you go over a bump that hits both front wheels at the same time, more swaybar means less compliance, which is the opposite of what you seem to want. Soft coilovers plus stiff sways is a bad combo, swaybars should complement the suspension, not the other way around. If your priority is track, I really cant see going back to an OEM or eibach/oem configuration unless you just sort of putt around leisurely at track days, which is fine, the point is to have fun. But if your priority is street comfort and you frequently use the crappier roads of OKC on the north and west side, then coilovers may not be the best option for you. Ultimately you gotta decide.
