Amplified is also working on an adapter to use swift springs, not sure if those are done yet, a lightly stiffer spring would be great for the track but I also DD this.
agreed. The car was designed to run the spring bucket so I wouldn't stray from that. Also, I would think that you're slightly raising the car's center of gravity by moving the weight of the spring and bucket up to the upper shock area. I've talked to some guys that ran true type coilovers on 350zs and they said that the rear just didn't feel the same in that it didn't feel as planted. Could be the adjustments though.
