[s-cars] Correct Bilstein / Eibach Suspension Availability

[LL - NY]

Doug,

Lee is correct on the shocks. As for Eibachs, (sound like you're sold on 'em)
they will not totally remove the dive, nor roll. If dive bother's you,
I'd go S6+
H&R's, as for roll, really seems that the HSRB is probably the only solution
(once my purchase and renovations are done, I'm going to go for one. Keep
note, Hap!). On the shocks, on a personal note, since Bilstein is willing to
custom valve work is relatively cheap, I'd consider doing it. The
combination of Bilstein Sports seems almost dead on for Eibachs
(except not enough front
Jounce, although I may be wanting to make shocks do the work that the
SPRINGS should do), which would make them too limp for either set of H&R's 
(standard UrS4/6 or S6+). This is the case with my 200Q, which has a
horrible ride as a result. Lots of head toss.

As for alignment, correct would be dead stock. Then, if your camber
plates have the room to rotate (such as the 2-bennets), dial in as
much + caster as is left in the adjusters while still staying even
side to side. This will grip well, wear well, and if you can add
caster, will have better centering, on center feel and better camber
gain control. The only drawback of the probable availible added caster
is the steering can get heavy and numb if you go too far. However,
NONE of the camber plate options car really get that far.
