The Bilsteins seem to dampen out what feels like twice the amount of little road bumps and the bouncing of those crappy DeCarbons......
I had it realigned to -1 degree of camber, +4.5 caster, and 1/32 of toe in. You could make a BIG difference on a totally stock F-body by just getting rid of those awful shocks and the pathetic factory alignment specs.....whatever they're set up for, it sure as hell isn't for performance handling.
The car feels much more balanced between the drivetrain and suspension.....more like what you get in a newer Corvette than a straight-line only musclecar from the old days (all power, no handling).
