Yeah, i suppose...although i doubt that the lowering springs for the 4kq 
are all that much more stiff than those on the UrQ.  I tend to actually 
really like the handling of a stock UrQ albeit with some better rubber.  
Just try some new struts...i was amazed at the handling of mine...I just 
did coilovers, but i will tell you, it was a hard decision because of 
just how good the UrQ was on back roads.  My consolation is that i can 
always measure the rates of the springs i just removed and put similar 
ones on my car again if i want.....
