please include if you can on how they did at the track and ofcourse everyday driving. and what else you have suspension whise that might help.

VERY good choice if I do say so myself. I am glad I picked these.

-The stance is perfect, just the way I like it.
-The ride quality is great, not too harsh but much tighter then stock.
-Doesn't sag in the rear like I have seen some Eibachs do.. its level.
-Any lowering spring is going to take away from weight transfer to the rear when you accelerate... therefore taking away some traction. I haven't been to the track on these yet, just on the street on 17" tires. I am sure with some DRs at the track it won't be too bad.

yeah, i like the 1" drop stance. clean. im going to be putting everything on at the same time so its going to be some time till i put things on. do you know of any specific suspension parts not many people know about. i remember this one post about a replacemnt ball joint or something to help bumb steer on lowered cars. stuff like that. i want to make sure everything is in geometry

Are you talking about the Baer Tracker bump-steer tie-rods?

[BLLDOGG]
