Bilstein BTS, H&R sports springs too soft

[Wildo2003]

So I got the Bilstein BTS kit, which comes with Bilstein sports shocks and H&R sports springs. I like it except the springs are too soft for my liking. Also, I don't want to go lower, the drop is already really aggressive for my taste.. the rear end is so low.

My question is, what can I do to get stiffer springs with the same drop? The current ones are weak :(

bump...for this guy

how's the refixing of the car coming ?

It's good. I rolled the passenger rear fender that was giving me trouble on HARD lefts.. and now it's smooth as a babies butt. AND the squeaking went away, I guess it had something to do with the fender.

In more good news, I took a closer look at the rear trailing arm bushings, and they're not as bad as I originally thought, I can wait at the very least another 10k before I do it.

There's a lot of travel w/ the suspension though, springs aren't stiff enough with these big 18" wheels, it bottoms out easy and just... well, it's too soft for my liking. I just need to find a Jet Black sedan driver's side front fender, because mine is damaged from the crash. And possibly side-skirt too if I can find one cheap.

Nobody has any suggestions on what I should do for stiffer springs? Also, if I get stiffer springs, will I need new shocks? Maybe I should just sell this and get coilovers.. =\

[e36fosho]

[Wildo2003]

So... are coilovers my only option? Give me some suggestions people!
