Not going to work without the bumpstops adding the necessary 80% of springrate. Good news is that they have those 80%. bad news is that they ramp up to almost 500% which is a bit much.
You might get away with it if you add the thickest swaybars you can find and don't mind the added harshness from riding on the bumpstops. That depends on your local roads.
My advice: buy the swaybars first. You'll need them with the espelirs to collect enough springrate. Buy thick ones! See how you like the ride since they might be close to ideal with your shocks. Then add the espelirs later on and see what that brings you.

I would do swaybars, but like I said I have been running the Tokicos for years now with the stock springs and want to run them on 5 which is the stiffest setting. But the springs don't complement them.

So I would like to do springs first, then drive it, then look at sway bars.

What are some springs that I could just swap right on without issues? I assume no on the Espeliers, what about Tanabe GF210?

I basically just want stiffer springs I can swap right on to go with the Tokicos.
