well just a little data point here....

a couple weeks ago the local track had an open track week - as in FREE lapping.  When I was talking with another Lister who said he was going to go so I said what the heck.  So three of us urq guys showed up and had some fun.  I hadn't driven on the track in quite some time - and thinking back I did a truly pathetic job - horrible horrible lines etc.  But man what a blast!!!  The one thing that was really bugging me was how wallow-y the car felt - something I didn't recall at all from the last time I was out - which was with stock Boges and stock '84 springs (vs now with '84 springs and Bilsteins).  So two days later we put in the Eibachs I had in my garage since Sept. (Thanks Andrew!).  Let me tell you - talk about virtually no compromise!  the car has a better look at about 3/4 inch lower than '84 ride height, much less dive and squat and body roll.  And also just around town most bumps feel less harsh.  I guess the lower springs put the Bilsteins in a better range of motion.  Totally awesome.  

If you come across some Eibachs - buy them!
