My initial post and the point I return to in this thread are intended for road use. Mind you, I'd be very interested to see how bump stop modification could improve the handling of these cars on a track. I suspect replacing them as much as possible with short true bump stops and returning wheel control to the springs, roll bars and dampers would be a very effective way to improve the track handing of these cars. It certainly seems to work for the MX5, a car not known for its competence in road going stock trim.
By all means spend money shaving those part seconds off the lap times but don't expect any of that to help you on the road. For fast road driving year round you need ground clearance with good suspension travel, relatively soft roll, firm dampers and moderate to stiff spring rates. Most of these go out the window if you want to reduce lap times. I know which I prefer having done both.
Tracking a street car isn't very interesting. Buying a track car makes more sense.

You're literally an idiot. I can absolutely guarantee that a car that is fast on the track, will obviously be faster on the street than your tuned by ideas from fairy land car.
You're trying to tell me that a car that is tuned for the track will be slower on a canyon drive than your car? Ridiculous.
Tracking a street car isn't interesting? Awesome, great opinion. Go buy a track car then.
You're posting all this info like you know what you're taking about and when you get your ass handed to you you claim you're a street driving expert. What the hell are you on seriously?
