Just wanted to post my experience with my new springs. I received my orange gtpp in July last year and was really happy with it from the get go. The only things that bothered me at all were the clutch actuation/ driveline lash and the tendency to shift left and right at speed and not come back to center after minor adjustments. The car felt fine around town, but out on the highway, anything above 80mph felt less than controlled.

So, jump to today. I installed Steeda Ultralight linear springs and left the stock pp shocks, made no other changes and it is a night and day difference. All of the things people have said about most spring packages apply.. decent ride, no dive on brakes or dip on accel, but also the steering has improved so much, I have to wonder if the geometry was set up for a slightly lower ride height. I'm sure that's not the case, just feels like it. Anyway, couldn't be happier with the springs at this time and the steering improvement was an unexpected surprise.

I've noticed the same, my car seems to track left and right depending on the road i'm on. I attribute most of this to the tires. Being in the NY the temp is in constant flux so when the temp drops, the more noticeable it is. Probably ditching the tires soon but the rears only have about 50% left with 4K on the car... Dodgy tires.

I'm assuming no issues with getting the car aligned after the springs? I'm ready to move beyond the p zeros as well. I've had worse but I've had better as well.

PP springs do suck. Just swapping those out makes a huge difference.

Linears FTW!
