You can set them up to handle really nice though, and 4AGE screaming off its tits is a beautiful thing to hear.

They make the FA sound like a tractor.

You will think your driving, a reliable, old 911.
I actually like quick responding chassis... the FR-S was good but just a tad slow compared to what I like. Actually had a FWD Integra RS that was setup to wanting to swap the rear end out on track... a lot more tail happy than my FR-S was. I do understand that mid-engine and rear end requires proper cornering and braking techniques, having to always be on top of the chassis - you can be fairly lax with the FR-S and it won't bite you. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is my go to car in full blown racing sims (not arcade games like Forza and Grand Turismo).

Depending on condition of bushings @ 166k miles it has, I will leave it as is for a little bit or just go immediately to the T3 front and rear arm and link setup... it already has Koni dampers with Eibach ProKits so good on suspension otherwise.

4AGEs are indeed beautiful sounding engines...especially in race trim:
