going from megan racing to tein springs...handleing

[dan2288]

Well I got a good deal on the tein s springs so decided to put them on. My megan racing springs were just too harsh for my roads. I also replaced my front struts bc they were blown. With the tein springs, the ride is much more comfortable. It just seems like the car handled better with the megan racing springs. With them, my front camber was -1.8. Since the car sits higher with the tein springs, im sure the camber is more positive. Would adjusting the camber more negative make it handle better?

In theory yes, more negative camber (more to a certain extent) makes your car turn in better, and generally gives you more grip in a corner. This happens at the expense of traction while not cornering... such as when braking.

Do you know the spring rates for each? If the springs you had were much stiffer it may have just felt like the car handled better, while in reality it was just more responsive because of faster weight transfer.

The megan springs are like 325f and 250r. The tein springs are much softer, even softer then stock. You think some RM sway bars would help with turn in weight transfer and make it handle better?

That and shocks.
