new suspension options?

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

i'm still toying around with changing my suspension (the shine stuff feels 
too soft with the bilsteins). seeing that my bilstein sport strut wasn't 
blown, as i thought, i now have a few options that i'm looking at:

1. h/r coilovers. i love how these feel on cathy's car. $$$ is the obvious 
issue here. plus, i don't really need the coilovers; i'm just after similar 
ride quality/characteristics
2. h/r cups: potterman said these are a little softer, but close to the 
coilovers.
3. h/r race springs/bilstein sports: this would be cheapest, since i already 
have the shocks.  i'm guessing this would be firmer than the cups.

currently running shine springs, 200# front/100# rear. if i change, i guess 
i'll also need a front sway, since the spring rates (i believe) are the same 
at all 4 corners. current setup is very neutral, and i think good for autox, 
but i just want a firmer/flatter/more responsive feel. any suggestions on 
front sways? i'm currently running with the shine rear bar that cheapass ron 
copied, and don't see a real reason to change it, though i'm not sure how 
the shine bar compares to the traditional bars in terms of roll resistence; 
ie, do i need a bigger/smaller front sway than usual to maintain neutrality? 
thanks,
