when i had my old 4ac sprinter, it came with chopped springs. It was okay and looked very good....Until I got a minor defect notice.
So out those chopped springs and in came the new springs and shocks [since my shocks were seriously worn out].
it was wierd going for a 3.7" drop to a 1.5" drop. It looked like I made it stock again.
After a while tho, I noticed it still looked good and definitely better than stock sprinters. At first I wasn't sure about the suspension either! It felt like there was more roll than before.
With the chopped springs it did defintely have a softer spring rate, and would roll .. however it would stop midway thru as if it could go no more.
With the new king springs, it would keep rolling, but after trying some S turns thru the mountains, it was definitely better.
Then I put the swaybars in that I had bought. And those obviously showed improvement as well. I think it leaned toward more oversteering, but that was easily fixed with the lack of power from the 4ac.
The car handled nicely tho.. Lost quite a few cars in the twisties
