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.

yellowc4LH,

You should get oversteer by upping the rear only, depending on spring rates you may get enough to be very unforgiving on the street.

I changed just the front spring out from a 96 FE1 to a 88+Z51. I ran one autox just for kicks. It understeered horribly. I put the rear 88+Z51 on and now it rocks autoxing but does have slight oversteer with street tires.
