Putting it nicely, on the county road, I've felt more confidence inspiring cars in my life than my Si. Some times the handling is positively scary.
So, what's the best combo of springs/shocks/coilovers for what I want out of the car?
Please name brand names, approx prices, possible places to get the stuff and any other pertinent stuff.
And would somebody please explain the difference between coilovers and shocks to me?
Use simple terms because I'm not totally grasping the whole suspension concept.
Thanks.

do you feel the rear end of your car is unstable because of the higher spring rate? when travelling at speed?
