I ask because I have been rallycrossing this car (it's better than people think on dirt lol) and would like a little more ground clearance as well as softer suspension. I'm trying to weigh my options between getting Koni yellow's with Chihatsu springs, camber plates, RLCA's or going with a higher end coilover set up. If the alignment is no longer nominal but still within spec with just changing out struts/ springs, I wont waste my money getting the other parts. This car will have the suspension and tires changed out for the event and then put back for driving on the street with stock tires and suspension.
Thanks for the input!

Bilstein B6 may be better suited to that type of driving. Inverted monotube is the type of shock you want as they're a little more robust. They've unfortunately been out of stock forever, but should finally be back soon.
Camber plates are also generally not used off road. Many of the usual plate designs can't take the impacts. Use OEM mounts.
Coilovers that are designed for street/track/auto-x will not be ideal for rally-x. The coilovers that are specifically designed for rally are pretty darn expensive, although there are a few options that aren't
quite as bad.
My recommended inexpensive-ish rally-x setup and one that I may be using myself next spring would be: Bilstein B6, RCE Safari springs (in the works), OEM topmounts, crashbolts (not cam bolts), and Cusco rear lower control arms. A couple of bushings as well for the rear.
Yes, we are working on a set of springs specifically designed for light rally-x that will pair with OEM or Bilstein B6. Not a stage rally type of setup, but something you can have a lot of fun driving on gravel/dirt without spending the big bucks for Reiger or custom JRZ or etc.
The Chuhatsu springs will be good if you can't wait, but we're trying to do something a little different.
