BTW, I can't tell you how bad it was getting back in my car with the stock suspension after that.
Again, I'm not trying to derail, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance (for our car) to get a world-class setup. I just want to make sure the "track" side of the performance spectrum is given enough weight. For my intended use, track weighs more heavily than street. Lastly, data speaks louder than my subjective opinion based on a test drive.  |
IMO - Save yourself a couple of grand and go with the GC's 500/600...
