Dave I have 140# spgs with1 " cut off with a free length of 11" I have a stock front and rear bar and new Kybs but it rides very hard. it is used only on the street. What would you suggest to get a better ride?

1) Ditch the Kill Your Backs, go to Bilstien or Boge.
2) Cutting a spring increases its spring rate. (Don't believe me? Get a spring tester and see!) Get some softer rear springs; either 140s or 100s.

In general, increasing just the rear spring rate will tend to make the car more tail-happy. You can dial the car back to more neutral behavior by increasing the front spring rate (thicker torsion bars), or by increasing the front roll resistance (bigger sway bar).
