Has anyone recently been to the track or autocross with their new springs yet?

Looks like the car still handles better than stock!! It's good to see that these springs give a boost in performance as well an aesthetic improvement!

I can testify that it is a drastic improvement over the stock spring. I dont track the car at all, unfortunatly. Although I def get on it quite hard on an empty backroad. The changes these springs make are insurmountable by any of the competitors.

I know it has been suggested before, but I've not followed this thread in a long time.
The drop with these springs are very nice. After getting the turbos installed and getting realigned, I think my car sunk further or bottoms out more easily. The front has slightly more negative camber, so I think it lowered the car a tiny bit more. The other drawback with bigger tires up front is that there is less headroom for suspension travel. Overall the handling is sick... I hardly peel out from making sharp turns. Everyday driving has been enhanced. Basically, half the time when I drove over a speed bump my front lip, sides, and exhaust scrape. My CF sides are cracked! It was cracked a little before, but I didn't know from what (part probably from car lift). I think the springs and OEM shocks make for a super soft combination. Perhaps aftermarket shocks can help?
