higher rated springs-
just put some kyb gr-2's in this weekend, but i really need a stiffer spring. right now i have some cheap ass intrax springs that have a very low spring rate. does anyone know of some of the higher rated springs? heard h&r's are pretty high, but not sure.

i know that gr-2's are similiar to stock but are valved differently. i still need to find a stiffer spring so the car doesnt sag so much in hard turns.

Re: higher rated springs-
Part of the reason your car sags is because it's underdamped. Part of it is the springs too. Stiffer springs will help body roll (probably what you're calling "sag") but if you're underdamped then the car can't recover properly. For example, if you hit a bump in the middle of a turn, and the car leans/rolls/sags more and stays there, you're underdamped. That's called jacking.
You may want some stiffer sway bars too, that will control roll quite a bit. That's what they're for, after all.
