Please tell me that the back of your car is not balancing onto of blocks of wood sitting on the rim. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

How much weight reduction are you doing?

I thought you could use that money elsewhere and get k2rd or ground controls with any Eibach ERS springs you want. I read that some of those high end coilovers aren't meant for street use because they need rebuilt quicker. I don't know, that was the opinion of some guys on the other forum for whatever its worth. I wouldn't mind some Teins or JIC's though. I think they're in the $1100-1500 range.

My HKS drag suspension has been on my car for over 3 years now...no rebuilding required yet...*goes and finds wood to knock on*

The bumpstop has been used in the drag racing arena for years, I mentioned this to elliot to keep the pinnion from breaking the diff mount on a hard launch. a little extra protection if you will.

haha no. I could not find the nuts for the subframe at the time and I used the wood/tires to hold it in place to check for fitment on the bumpstop.

Yea I reinforced the camber link. I'm also going to get an adjustable one and tighten it up as far as possible. The spot where it connects to the subframe will break with a lot of hp...
