The WL roll center kit will help, but that's still a very soft spring. - Andy |

In the end it comes down to personal preference and what balance you're most comfortable with (neutral, oversteer, understeer). Without having a full tire model it would be more of a roll stiffness distribution value, instead of an actual balance value. Also keep in mind that playing with toe and camber can have a HUGE affect on your vehicle balance in corners. Oh so many factors |

Slotting the front struts seems like a perfectly viable option. Some cars(used to anyways) come straight off the assembly line with this exact setup. The price is right and I would think this is where you would want the adjustment to be made. Is there an advantage to adjusting at the top of the strut? Loosing a rubber upper strut mount seems like a disadvantage as well. |

Question, I've really tried to wrap my head around spending $3k+ on coilovers but I just can't afford it. I would like to run coilovers for their adjustability, allows for more room when running certain wheels, height adjustment. Most in my price range 1-$1600, are single adjust either rebound or rebound/compression and i opt for swift springs as I understand they're much better than springs that come with coils at this price range. If you had to choose between the fortune autos, feal, BC... What would you recommend. I do mostly steer driving and maybe once a month HPDE. Thanks.

Are they really that much better than FA, real..They're on the top range of my budget and don't even have top hats or adjustability to damping. I don't mind because i could always use the factory and adjust camber with bolts. Camber plates would should the price over the 2k with these.
