Anyone have any info on weither the fact that HDDP said is true... the lowering springs harming track use... because this car will be used for SCCA racing starting this weekend!
Boba: I think you misundestood my previous post... there is no harm with just the Eibach Springs... I was just saying that you would be hard pressed to notice any difference in handling and lowering unless you upgrade dampers as well..

During the week after installing JUST the Eibach Springs, maintaining the OEM shocks/dampers, I noticed NO drop or tighter handling like I expected. Then when I installed the Koni Sport dampers, the car handled exactly as I hoped... Now I 'm happy with the upgrade...

Be that as it may... feel free to just put the Eibach springs on without upgrading the OEM shocks/dampers and I believe you will agree... No difference...
