I think he means the suspension for the RS/GS swapping to the Spyder. It will sit way lower than usual.

LOL, I give up.
All I'm saying is I've read story after story, and even one auction, of when a guy bought some GST suspension for his Spyder, and turned around and tried to sell it because it was slammed in the rear of the car.

well would leaving the 5 ways on the stiffest setting and the front softer help, or should I just get the REAR eibach prokit springs designed for the spyder?
Youre answering exactly what I was asking, so I do appriciate it, but now Im wondering if there is anything to do to them to make them work.
EDIT: tried to rate you and give you points, but i already did :p

Keep in mind number 5 is dampening rating and has nothign to do with ride height.
I'd say try it with RS/GS/GST parts first, then if you are still uncomfortable, then try looking for Spyder specific parts.
If you want a little higher ride, you can always subsitute rear shocks from a GSX. I called KYB and found out GSX shocks are 3mm taller than GST shocks.
