the question should not be "is it worth the money"


the question should be "what is it that I want to change in the way the car operates," and you better damn know exactly why you want it.


because once you do, then 80% of the products simply drop off the table since they won't do what you want them to do or you will realize that what they do offer isn't actually what you need, and if they adjust one aspect of the car towards a perceived positive (such as stance, for instance), that they will degrade another component (such as road holding or comfort)


What's left will always be "worth the money," because through your research and thoughtful questions you would have chosen a product that will change the car's behavior to how you want it to.


Once you understand what the product offers, if you are prepared for it's pros and cons, then you simply decide whether you can afford it, be it a 500 dollar investment or a 5000 dollar investment.

This is why I've been on stock suspension for the last 6 years... I know what I want but I can't pull the scratch, so I'm saving until I do, and I will accept no substitute until then.
