And these springs are one of their products that is so good it made buying the company worth it.

Ask anyone with the TSW springs and lets see what they think of them.
What shocks and sway bar combo would you run with the TSW's for a street setup. I'm one of those that want a good ride. I hate the stock suspension.

I've got the Koni yellows, and the Hotchkis 19mm rear bar with the TSW springs and am very happy with it.

I like my TSW's on stock shocks (~30k miles lowered) and like the ride. Added an Alta 19mm rear bar on full stiff and actually want more bar, I've gotten used to it now.

stay with the same rear bar and get camber plates. It's the way to go
