I had about 180K on my 90GT when I changed the front and rear and I did feel a change. I had Moog springs. I was about to buy some Eibachs, I thought the Moogs were not enough to kill the body roll. After that I wanted to upgrade the swaybars, but lost the car before I could buy the Eibach springs. I did replace everything else. If you want to do well in the turns you must do the same. I can look up the post where I listed all that I did, or I can list it on your post here if you want. Just get back to me.

If you want GTZ springs I will have a used set forsale in a couple months or so.  I'll let them go for pretty much shipping and handling charges.  If you want them sooner....  PM me and we could work something out.

Eibachs are the best from what I hear. Just don't forget the little stuff (control arm bushings, insulators, strut mounts,boots, bolts for the strut to knuckle and bump stops for the rear. If you go with new springs you will need a new swaybar(s) and bushings. If you stay with stock springs you will just need new swaybar bushings. There is a great write up on this at the top of this area.
