Question about product
Question about product Ok I got a question for you guys
is this a pretty good combo?
http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=70002
What I am looking for is something that will not lower my car too much, since I have LTs and dont want to scrape my Electric Cutouts.
Maybe an inch or even 1.5 inches Max. But I want a good performing combo for Autocross racing. Solo 2 to be exact. I dont want it to be Go kart stiff either.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I would call up Sam Strano. His springs are proven on the Autocross course, as is his knowledge. He also sells revalved bilstiens.
His springs drop around 1.2 inches. There is alot of info about him/the spings on here.

I'm using those shocks with a set of Eibach springs. Yes, everyone here says it isn't ideal, but I think it works fairly well. Under $700 for matching shocks and springs is a good deal, in my opinion.
Thanks for the replies, I have heard some people talk about Sam Strano but never knew who or what it was.
As far as that SLP kit, I like the pricing too. How much did it drop your car leadfoot?

I got the shocks from SLP around 5-6 years ago. Some of the folks here comment that SLP has Bilstein tailor the shock's valving to their springs (the ones in the "package"), but nonetheless I'm satisfied with their performance. I don't race or auto-x, just drive briskly in an area where the roads aren't the best. The SLP Bilsteins ride a LOT better than the stockers did with the Eibach springs.

I'm also an SLP dealer, so we can discuss options without you feeling like I'm telling you to do "A" because I don't even sell "B". 
I'm also a pretty good autocrosser.

I like the price, but is there something better for around the same price range? Also like I said above, I dont want to drop the car too low, maybe an inch to 1.5 inches max

Verdad Gallardo I think it's a street setup that isn't bad, but also isn't great. You tend to get what you pay for, and you get a decent handling, ride riding street suspension. Then again it's about what I think should have been on a production performance car from the factory. It's a lot better than stock, but stock should have been a lot better. So the improvement, while good is not a good as you can do.
We can talk options, and there are many.... I can't really help you by e-mail beyond telling you if you want the car to handle and can lower up to 1.5" (which is more than I would), then you ahve a number of better handling options and some are similarly priced, some are a lot more.

I see, I dont really want to lower it 1.5", I would prefer a 1" drop, I think my headers would be ok with 1" less. What do you suggest, I plan on taking it maybe once every two or three months to the SCCA meets down here, and I am going to need it as my DD since my Jeeps engine isnt doing too well and I am going to rebuild it over spring break.
So I wanted maybe a mild track set up that wouldnt be too radical for regular street duty.
what would be the best for that, If the price isnt too far off, I might even be willing to go a little more aggresive.

Again, I have to say that I can't really give you much detail by e-mail. I can't because there are a lot of if/then things. I can help, and we can work on things with a price in mind, but this is like wondering if you'd like the taste of something by asking a bunch of strangers on a forum somewhere. Some of who have tried what you ask, some of whom haven't.
If you want details and explanations, I'm happy to help, but you need to call. And FWIW, I don't setup kindney pounders, that's not good for tire compliance. Firm, hell yes, bone-jarring. No.
