New suspension combo. Q's within
Hi guys,
I have decided not to lower the car as I might be going with longtubes and dual 3 inch electric cutouts on the car sometime soon. (They will affect ground clearance)
This is what I am thinking
SLP Bilstein shocks
1LE front springs
stock rear springs
1LE rear swaybar 21mm
LCA relocators (already purchased)
What do you think? Anything really lacking there? Should I upgrade the rear springs? I will be doing a bit of autoX next year as well. Will I notice a BIG improvement in handling? I already have a 1LE bar on the front and that was a tremendous difference.
thanks!
Chris

I would go with some HD bilstiens vs. the SLP takeoffs (or get the SLP's re-valved).
I also wouldn't do the LCA lowering brackets if you are interested in handling and aren't lowered - they give excellent straight line bite with a large down angle, but also induce a large amount of oversteer. Just try and keep the CA's parallel and you will be fine.

Cool thanks for the info Straight line bite is awesome though
Maybe playing with tire pressures front and rear can mitigate that somewhat? (Induce more push?)
