Well I'll be getting a front sway bar soon which will make the front end under-dampened for the stock spring. The rear will follow suit but nearly as bad as the front. A set of good dampeners will reduce some of the instant lean and squatting when changing directions quickly. Other suspension goodies would be nice, but I just don't want to sacrifice my ride height and classing as I stand right now.

I tried them when he had it at full hard, varied front and rear (rear softer), and at full soft. Full soft was probably both his and mine best lap times for his Z, but it still felt as if it was pushing. I felt like the front needed a bit more dampening and the rear less still.
Are there really no other options but the Konis? Someone mentioned there's a company in Colorado that will custom build me some dampeners with external adjustment for compression and rebound but they're $4k a set
EDIT: Just found that Motion Control sells several dampener kits ranging from 2750$ to 7600$. It's kind of a ridiculous price but for 3500$ they do have a 2 way adjustable non-remote dampener. That would at least keep me in all of the classes I'm in now.... I need to find a sponsor, racing is expensive
