Well, the OP is putting these on with AutoX and track events in mind. And he's competitive in his class.


Fair enough. Again, my argument is not that coil overs should be avoided, simply that there are better "bang for the buck" upgrades available at this point in the car's career.

Your results speak for themselves, maybe it's the driver.


Nope. That happened when I used to drive the car on the street, which is tpi383's intent. Pot holes and such. Never had an issue on the track.

Buttermore's results with leafs are fine, doesn't mean much though.


I disagree. If you can win with the "stock" style suspension, why change it? And these are not unique results. But this is an opinion, not to be confused with fact.

I don't hate leafs but I've never been wild about the transverse application.

If you have the articles and can post any, I'll read them.


I think you're falling into a trap with your mistrust of leafs. We could pontificate all day about it. I'll see if I can find the one article in particular that had the best information and post a link.

Keep in mind I am no proponent of leafs over coils. I only preach what I've seen work on the race track. Nothing more, nothing less.
