Re: finally dropped the mx
Koni reds won't handle those spring rates. Not even close. you should be looking at Koni 8610s or similar... You dont want or need that much springrate in general. The ITA roadracers ran 500/500. 650/450 with huge swaybars is going to be a nightmare on the street. Why are you running those swaybars ...

Re: For those with 17"s, what tire pressure you running
what exact MODEL of tire are you using?
Also use front to rear pressures to dial in the suspension a little better.
~38 is usually a good starting point.

Re: 205/55/15?
no...it's not too short. even in a ZE powered GS, if you have traction problems in 2nd, it's because of the tires.
The gearing would be better shorter.

Re: 35 offset cause of my handling problems?
the different offset will change the scrub radius a bit, and make the effect worse.
