While playing Forza 3 today, I realized why. There are so many adjustments for the suspension that I don't think I'll find a setting that's better than my stock setup (ie I won't have the time to find the setting and may not even appreciate it if I did). Am I wrong? Does the upgrade alone with the 'middle' settings result in an improvement, or are coilovers only beneficial if you dedicate hours upon hours to track testing and adjusting? I certainly don't want to make my car handle WORSE than stock, but I don't have the time to fiddle with suspension adjustments (nor do I think I'd appreciate some of the fine nuances in these adjustments unless someone was demonstrating it for me).
Any thoughts?

Well, you could always start slow and do something that works on the street as well...... new sway bars. I put a 15mm spacer on the rear to widen the track a little and fill out the real wheel well, then ordered Stillen sways. I plan on leaving the stock shocks and springs. In talking with others that have done this, they like the reduction in body roll the stiffer sways provide, while not disturbing the ride quality. Of course I am approaching this from a "street" standpoint, but I think your ride is street and some track time, double duty correct?
