I started out with all Racing Beat products (springs, swaybars, etc.). But after a year of autocrossing, I decided it just wasn't enough of a step up from stock. Ended up replacing everything with stuff from www.re-speed.com Coilovers, adjustable rear perches, Illumina shocks, camber plates, hollow front swaybar.
What a difference it made! Two weeks ago at an autocross I was up against a highly modified Miata on race rubber, driven by a long time veteran of racing. I was on $48.00 Sumitomo tires. Yes, he beat me, but only by 2/10ths of a second or basically the time it takes to blink your eyes. Put me on some race rubber and I would have pounded him into the ground.
