From what I hear, the Abbott springs are stiffer but not jarring at all and I've never heard of anybody bottoming out with them.
In the snow this morning, I had the rear end kick out a couple of times when I tried to force it. It was easy to catch and a bit (ok a ton) of fun. Looks like the stiff rear springs and really stiff rear swaybar may be a bit much now that the front is higher and softer.
I'll try it out on good roads (or our local skidpad) and post the results. I'll probably add just the Abbott rear swaybar instead of doubling them up for the rest of the winter. It's a bit overkill now.
One thing; The car drives great and from what I can tell, it still handles well. It feels better balanced and gives the driver more confidence because it's very easy to place the car accurately on the road. I think I'm on to something with just the buttoned down rear end and stock springs up front. My wife loves it too. She might try and switch cars on me again.
