I think that my set-up is pretty good. It is however, a compromise between
performance, cost, and comfort.

Up front I have Eibach springs and Bilstein Sports. In addition I have the
2Bennett solid spherical bearing camber plates(these are expensive and noisy
but they work great-word is that there is a new plate in the offing that is
quieter and that features caster adjustment as well). I also have the 28mm
FSB from the avant.

In the rear I have Bilstein Sports and ASW coil-overs with Eibach springs. I
also have the Happersize 26mm RSB that features 3 levels of adjustment from
125 lbs to 155 lbs.

Cody Payne recently drove my car and was impressed with the very neutral tune
of this set-up. I think that the acceleration might have made more of an
impression than the cornering. I took one off camber turn at speed,with Cody
riding and got the rear-end out just a touch.. My goal when I was working wit
h the suspension fabricator was to be neutral at turn-in through apex with a
little oversteer at exit. I think that we nailed it right on the head! Brian
Billotti's "pimpy" looking car Edwin, was definately an influence on my
choice of hardware. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. HTH.
