Are you planning on tracking your car?
If so, I highly recommend adding camber plates for the front.

I changed out my stock suspension for a ROW 030 and added camber plates, otherwise you really can't get enough front camber.

BTW, I did find a used set on craigslist. Paid $200 for the set with just 10k miles on it.

Also, get a track alignment by a good shop that preps cars for the track. Regular alignment shops just can't get it done right

WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!!

The car is primarily a track car. It will still be driven to and from the track, but that is really all the street driving that it will see. I imagine that I will eventually need to go with camber plates.

Its good to hear that M030 deals are out there. Wish I had the time to wait for one to pop up again. I just pulled the trigger on a set of Bilstein B6 struts last night. Still need to figure out springs and sways, but at least I'm making a bit of progress. I have about a few weeks before my next track day. I'll make sure to get a good alignment done beforehand. Just need to find a good shop.

Hum... I think you would be better off with the B8 (Sport version). Shorter shaft for lowering spings.
