Just a bit stiffer than stock. Significantly less body roll. and -0.8 to -2.0 inches of drop.

I got them from trackwerks for about $1000 all in
I would be satisfied with 1", I was actually looking at an unboxing thread.

I've run mine over a year now and also through winter so I don't see an issue. You won't blow out the stock shocks with the ProKit, just that it feels under-damped in a track setting. Most drivers wouldn't even notice a difference but I can feel it in certain corners like 3, 9a, 12 and 14 at Bogie. Zero issues with street driving.

I'll make a drop/slammed friendly route for everyone just in case
x2 on the 30 being absolutely amazing. It's a toll road though. I believe $1.50

Any suspension recommendations?


Sorry to hear about the Magnaflow/bumper issue...mine was off a little bit when I first put it on, but after taking it off and "tweaking" the hanger rods a bit, all was good. I still regret selling it.

Welcome to mod land...
Thanks!

I got the hitch from U-Haul. It wasn't the easiest thing to install. Taking a file to the underbody of a brand new car was kinda awkward.
