streetable is relative to what you compare it to. the springs, yes certainly it doenst ride much different that stock... the sway bar on the otherhand.. well have you ever driven a lincoln town car? well your car's gonna handle like one without the bar - but it really helps the weight transfer to the back

then are the springs even worth the time to swap? and nope never drove one, clipped the side of one with my first car tho [:'(] how bad would the handling actually be.. if its really horrible i wont do it but its its nothing too major it wont bother me.

the 4cyl springs will really come alive after the swaybar is gone, but they'll still help alittle even with it. many folks drop the swaybar at the track and put it back on after.

4cyl springs on the back are too soft, you've got what you want on there already, I've got V8 fox springs on the back of mine.
