It's not the springs. JDM dampers usually tend to have a ton of compression damping and linear damping curves. This really leads to a more jittery car on track. I rode in some Koni-shod cars and I was amazed how much more lateral grip they were able to "produce" even on a car with comparable street tires to mine. You Honda people have it lucky, off the shelf damper solutions with Koni yellows, race valved yellows, etc. Where as we have to cut struts up and modify this housing that housing to run the dampers we want. If I drove a Honda there's no way I'd touch any other damper outside of Koni, Bilstein, etc.
