Quite a few suspension upgrades and really don't notice a difference..
Only suspension mods were 3.73's, LCA relocation brackets, intrax lowering springs and bilstein shocks.
Now, 12 bolt with 4.11's, BMR adjustable LCA's/PHB/Torque arm, torque arm relocation bracket and moser lca relocation brackets. I installed everything at the same time and it is all adjusted correctly. I took it on the highway today just to feel if it had any vibrations and at 80 everything was smooth. I'm just bummed it really doesn't feel much different then before. Even going from 3.73's to 4.11's. I guess the real test will be at the track...

It feels like it takes off more easy and smooth. It wont hook up at all 1st and 2nd gear. I'm on pretty new 555r's stock size 17's. I guess I'm just crying cause I spent so much money for no big noticeable difference. I definitely have peace of mind now when I hit the track. I'm going to borrow some slicks and hopefully cut some 1.5 60's dumping it at 6k.

It made a difference...With the little suspension I have I really couldn't tell the difference before and after....until I rode and drove in my buddies stock suspension 00 TA. That's when I realized my car feels planted to the ground with little nose diving/raising on braking and accel. Mine feel extremely stiff/solid comparably to his. Especially on the launch...His feels like the whole car shift/moves/flexes.

Just wondering how you can say everything is adjusted correctly if you havnt even tested it yet?
Your not going to bolt all that stuff on and go from 1.8's to 1.4's without testing 95% of the time.
With enough testing and some 28x10.50's it shouldn't be a problem getting that car to practically dead hook on the street...

if you ask me it's a good thing that it rides almost like stock, but take it to the track and i guarantee you will notice a big difference in your 60' times and probably 1/4 mile times as well

Agree as above. If you ended up with nice ride quality and picked up a few tenths on the track you accomplished something. In the world of speed, a few hundredths can look like a mile.
