Default Rear Spring

Does anyone know if it would be ok to just replace the rear spring with a sport spring, without doing the same to the front? Because IMO the front feels fine but the back feels bouncy.

Default Re: Rear Spring (yellowc4LH)

What condition are your shocks in? They are made to controll the oscillation of the spring.

You may get undesirable results by stiffening up only one end of the car. In general, you'll loose some traction on that end, i.e. you will be heading towards oversteer.
