Default G2-LS1

How does the Stage III suspension setup compare to having the coil-overs? I know it comes with sway bars and a torque arm, but would the handling be close to a coil over kit with G2 sway bars and a TA?

Thanks for the help. I will be going one of these routes over the Winter, so I would like to hear it from you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BTW, I watched those videos, and your car is awesome man.. I want that kind of handling. I know you're a professional driver, but that kind of handling is what I'm after.

Jack,
The SIII setup is a great package. The Coilovers just add that extra tuning capability along with less weight, choice of springs, shocks can be revalved in a timly fashion, rideheight is at your control, wedge, cornerweights, ect.

Now as far as handling between the 2- There will not be much difference with the identical spring setups except for all the advantages that I mentioned before <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Louis

One more question(for now), do you recommend having gfx for a car that does a lot of open road racing? I took mine off, but I am seriously considering to put them back on.

Thanks Louis. If you're asking for a recommendation, I'd say go with the RKSport spoiler. The lines are clean, and it has the little provision at the bottom for airflow! IMO, the WW spoiler is just too gaudy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
