Otherwise, as you are finding out, when you add aftermkt component "A" you usually also have to add component "B", then "C"... and thus how one ends up sufficiently down a serious rabbit hole.
For a vehicle seeing mostly/exclusively street use, adjustable control arms are serious over-kill other than Cars-n-Coffee bragging rights. Ride "feedback" (aka comfort) changes extensively w/ solid thrust bushings - great for track use and extra visits to the chiropractor and dentist on street. If function is following form, you could likely accomplish looks/stance goal w/ a smaller budget taking a different approach.
So, as with most things, the best piece of advice is to begin with the end in mind. What is your goal? Develop a comprehensive plan around it (within your budget as needed in steps). Just because a part is "the best" doesn't mean it's necessarily the best for you.
Good luck  |
Sorry - just assumed that people knew the car. It's a Boxster Race Car with a 3.6 swap and it's far from street legal. It's built to PCA GT3 specifications.
As for my goal - balance between cost and maintenance over the long haul.
