A lot of major suspension tuners say that all the suspension work in the world will only give you a 5-15% increase in handling...
I have more of a problem with driver-initiated oversteer...with VDC off...

The only solution I've found so far is to leave it in the garage, or leave VDC on - lol...

I hate adjustable stuff too, for the same reason spearfish said, I would be afraid to screw it up.

I'm very happy with the eibachs, stillen sways (with rear on stiffest) and 275s all around. The car is very neutral now.
