Its all about priorities....
1st: Suspension
2nd: Power/Tune
3rd: Rear Diff
4th: lighten up the car as much as possible

Already have rims/tires figured out...Damn I have only had the car 2.5 weeks..

well that and money..

... it WILL get sorted...just not on you guys time schedule..

that and I also have a wife...

Lightening the car would be my first priority, that way, when you get it to a weight you like, you dont have to retune the suspension.

Plus, removing things is free

What about going with the RCE yellow springs for now till there's more development done on the car? The way I see it, it's going to take some serious development to get the car to _really_ handle better than stock, and parts won't be out for a while. Something like these are fairly inexpensive and you could just sell them again later after some serious suspension becomes available.

I also imagine this would be a more competitive setup than most, for now, till we have more developed options available.

Oh no doubt man

. I was just thinking you might hold out for the RCE Tarmac coilovers, which are based off the KWs as well but are tuned a bit more aggressively!

no... just dials in the spring rates...but since he is a KW dealer.. he can send them back to get them valved to 'his' specs..
