Interestingly enough, I find NS race springs pretty decent for the street -
I guess everyone is going to have different tolerance levels for that.  I've
been running with coilover Eibach springs (2.5", 350lb f, 500lb r - quite
a bit stiffer than the NS stuff) and I can generally handle it, but only
because I can keep telling myself "it's for autocrossing...".  What
really killed my ride recently was camber/caster plates...
