I love it. The ride is very, very comfortable. I had a lot of other suspension stuff done, like control arms, bushings, tie rods, rtabs, rsms, and does this suspension feels TIGHT!!!!

I can't believe how loose the car was before. I can't wait for my everything to settle and get some new tires/wheels before I try anything to the limit!

I also had a Spec Stage III clutch installed and I'll post about it in the FI section in the thread about this clutch. But I will tell you that the vibration I had at idle with the AC on is now gone.

Oh, and Bill Kim at Soulspeed fixed my squeaking steering wheel lubing up the lower bearing....I love my NEW car!

Nice!!!

How much and where did you buy the kit? And can you elaborate on the bushings you changed? I suspect those helped make your car feel "tight" more than the new suspension.

I got them straight from GC when they were $1345 shipped. I did not take any before pics, but I'll take some after! I'll post pics along with my new exhaust system!

I did not get the camber/caster plates. I don't have any issues as of right now. The ride is very comfortable. Rough roads do make it a little harsh, but its not terrible, definitely fine for a daily driver. I'll take some pics and post them today.

I got 600/550, and even with the reinforced mounting points for the subframe, it cracked outside of those. Stiff springs are no fun when you have to drive pothole invested roads.

I gotta' give some props to Bill Kim and Soulspeed as well! This guy has always done an excellent job on everything with my car. If you're in Austin, I can't recommend him enough! :cool
