        Why do you need them stiffer?... you may need just a rebuild and fresh oil.. PM tmod for suspension advice.. he is the Guru..

              Yep just get new springs, You would need 1.0 kg/mm. They run $105.00 + shipping and fluid is $13.00.

                +1 I highly recommend upgraded springs as T said, it is a night and day difference.

                    Not a thing. They give you something to mess with at stop lights.

                          To give you something to do at stoplights. Don't take my word for it then. Mess with them. See if it makes any difference. At all. What so ever.
