Spring rate, however, controls "ride frequency", or in other words, the rate in cycles per second at which the spring wants to rebound and contract. If the spring rate is too high for the shocks to control (dampen) then the car looks bouncy-bouncy on the freeway dips and heaves. It can also be dangerous in at-the-limit turns.

Race cars can run a ride frequency of 2.5 to 3 cycles per second, on ultra smooth racetracks. Street cars are comfortable between 1.2 and 1.8 cycles per second. A "sporty" spring for a street car typically falls between 1.8 and 2.2 cycles per second, depending on whether it will work on the stock shocks or requires aftermarket (stiffer) shocks.

And those Evo-R sway bar endlinks...? HAhahahahahahahahahaha! Don't get me started on the "Your swaybar is not in the correct position." statement! ROFL. As long as the sway bar isn't preloaded with tension, it'll be fine with the stock endlinks. The pickup point for the endlinks is approximately 50% of the control arm length, so take whatever the drop is (in this case about 1.5") and divide it in half, and that's the change at the sway bar. Since both sides drop equally, the bar simply rotates in its two mounts. Problem solved!
