[Supras] eibachs?

[Jeff Mohler]

Oh ya..and if you have rear-end kicking out issues, soften the rear swaybar,
many people go full stiff on the rear bar without an issue, but once you get
good enough struts in the rear that can finally control rebound, a full
stiff rear bar can be problematic.

The more wet or COLD it is out, the more critical a soft swaybar will become
if you dont consider yourself a hard driver on the street.

As that goes, I even drop my rear tire pressures 5psi on a rainy day as
opposed to the day before when it wasnt.  Makes a difference.
