Especially for the dreaded rollover with the stock 175 lb/in springs and excessive compression damping of the stock setup to try and compensate for the limp noodle springs of the stock units.

Good idea, I tried to have custom springs made but an adapter to run common coils is even better.

You will 100% need the DSC Sport magride shock controller though. It could work out really well but the DSC is very complicated. If you tell DSC the spring rates you're running they will probably give you a base map for them if you buy the controller from them. However, I feel like the OEM programming was actually better in some key areas, like low speed damping, while DSC controlled the chassis better in some situations but worse in others.

So idk.. it is a good idea but at the end of the day I'd say save the cash up and buy a set of decent coilovers. My MCS RR2s are amazing, they result in a significantly faster and better handling car, having one rebound and comp knob per shock is enough for me, lol.
