Lower your car too much and you actually make handling worse because you lose upward travel.

Our breakdown over the years has come down to this:
Street/Show- Springs and Struts or BC/Fortune/Knockoff-o-rama
Entry level HPDE- KWs or Bilsteins
Top Level HPDE/Entry Level Race- AST
Club Racing- Moton
Beyond that- Penske

Have to bump this. So even fortune now with dyno sheets when bought are still a cheapo coil like the 510's? Whiteline endlinks just snap on this car so I wouldn't prompt them either if I was you.
