suspension ?? (long)

im looking for the best setup i can get i was wondering if anyone has the spohn sway bars? if so how are they any difference notice? or can you guys point me in the direction of good ones. also im looking for a good set of drop springs, im planning on runnin 17.9 wheels soon on an 82 Trans Am but my experiance with springs hasnt been so great every time i buy a set of stock springs they are way to stiff and jack the front of the car way up in the air and make it undrivable, right now im using stock springs with 3 coils cut and 4 cylinder springs in the back, they actually provided pretty good launching at the track,the problem is i dont want to get another set of springs and have the car jacked way inthe front, so far i have spohn lca,panhard and the t-56 torque arm system and love it nothingbut great traction.also any experiance with shock, i was looking for bilstiens<sp?> but havtn found them. my next choice is the KYB Gr2 shocks, im mostly going to use the car for autocrossing. the car is a 82 trans Am 327 with a t-56 and no A/c

I just replaced the entire suspensions system in my '84 T/A. I've got PST parts for the front, and PST sways (1 1/4F, 1R), with KYB GR-2's. I've also got Spohn rear suspension along with a torque arm. Even though I had the raggedy stock suspension on in the first place, the car handled like it was on rails! I'm still grinning and the build up was done two weeks ago!

I almost forgot! I've got Eibach prokit (1"drop) springs as well, and I love them! The front replaces the anorexic little springs for great cornering. I don't know how much weight you have in front with the 327, but you may have to slice the springs a little if you're too light.
