I definately agree with that.

The full race guys will always want to higher end stuff which is perfectly fine because they put it to good use.

The FRS's have ER setups now from BC so they have 2 way adjustability now too =] Digressive valving is coming soon too I hear.

We all have our preferences and different experiences. I definately admire the guys that have a ton of suspension knowledge through actual seat time. Can't ever quantify or beat that.

If you just want stock or a drop, then stock or lowering springs would be best.

If you want the height adjustability and the ability to corner weight in the future I'd go with the buddy club RSD for people on a decent budget.

I'm a customer of Ground Controls who really likes what they do for my car our on the race track so my answer is biased- I wholly recommend you call Adam at ground control and discuss this thread and your options before you pull the trigger. I'm sure you'll gather all the info you need if you take your time just tell him up front what budget you have or they can give great results as you spend more and more money

It's Koni's with custom strut bodies up front, threaded sleeves and Eibach ERS springs. They work very well. You can also mess around with different strut insert options and can get Koni's revalved very easily and run Eibach ERS, HyperCo, Swift, etc coils making them an extremely capable and flexible solution.
