I run Ground control C/Os, 800/600 spring rates and koni yellows on my track car... w/ a Tripoint adjustable front swaybar and lots of bracing.

Mines stock at the moment but have been looking at the new Apexi and the Buddy Club as well as the Tein Flex. Will be getting something soon.

I run the ground control coilovers with 550/400lb springs front/rear with koni yellows.



I LOVE the way the car drives with the shocks on full soft. It is comfortable yet firm, highway driving is smooth and easy.

Unless you are VERY well versed in suspension tuning and doing so to run the car hard on a road course..... the higher end CO's are a waste of money IMO.

GAB Super 'R' 8-ways with Eibach; 550/450. These came with the car and it's my understanding it was a kit that M2 sold, I think for autocross. (now discontinued) Also have the Tri-point adjustable front sway, stock R1 rear sway. LOVE them on smooth asphalt, annoyingly harse every place else.

I have the GAB coil overs and the racingbeat swaybars. Car handles like it's on rails, not to rough on the bumps either.

I just put on my Buddy Club coilovers I got from Chuck last summer. Hopefully get a shakedown run on them next month, gotta get on the track in May.

I'll trade you all the stock shocks and springs and the front sway bar off my 93 Touring for that Tri-Point front bar setup!

Just throwing this out there since I haven't seen anyone mention them, what about Tanabe suspensions? I hear the Pro RR is pretty aggressive for circuit.
