stiffer springs that don't lower?

Hi - I'm wondering if it's possible to get stiffer springs that don't lower the car? I would like the firmer cornering but i live in the boonies and drive lots of dirt roads. No way could i afford to give up any ground clearance. I realize the lower center of gravity helps handling but i would be leaving my exhaust behind real soon. Also, i just won an Ecutune kit on ebay and will be installing it as soon as it arrives. Also planning to buy a Small Car shift kit right away.

A Koni/ground control setup can be configured to not lower the ride height. Downside is that it is not cheap and the Koni's require modification of the struts. Do a search. You will find a lot of info.

Yep, I can make you a set. I've presently got one such set in the works for another customer.

Completely forgot that you did custom runs....

Mychailo's springs are great. I have them on my car (ones that lower the car slightly). Since he can do custom specs, this is probably your best bet.
