2. The car is daily driven with some track and autox, I went with aftermarket tie rods after reading am article that Moto miwa posted talking about how after 5 years regardless of miles a person should swap them out to keep the steering wheel feeling tight. With that said I opted to go with an upgrade instead of keeping the oe.
3. Ya I know, but I wanna do it right.
4. I have the car at Chewerks right now, hopefully they get it back to me in better shape.
thanks for the quick response btw. Any input on the end link length, was looking everywhere for info and found nothing.
1. Forget OE specs, your car is far from OE now.
2. Aftermarket isn't always an upgrade. Those parts aren't necessarily bad but they're adding complexity that you don't need. They won't last as long as OE.
3. Understandable. Corner balancing is nice to have.

For endlinks, you want the studs to just line up with the mounting holes with the car on the ground. So don't set them with the car in the air.

Hey guys, which set up would you choose for a daily driver and about 5 track days per year:
Bilstein B6 with lowering springs
Tein Flex Z or Flex A

All good options. Personally I'd go Bilstein.

They handle bigger bumps at high speeds better in my experience.

CSG spec or off the shelf ones? 5 track days are enough your gonna want front camber alignment and 17x9 track wheels which you want camber coming from plates vs bolts... Just my 2 cents

That's good to know. In terms of daily driving, how do thay handle bumpy roads compared to stock shocks and lowering springs?

Off the shelf. I currently have 17x9 +35 wheels and camber bolts, my tyre is VERY close to the shock, but no rubbing. I'm considering camber plates if I go with the bilsteins.

Slightly firmer and more composed.
