    Suspension Upgrade Question

    So since my bonus check is coming up, I was looking at fixing / upgrading my boat suspension on my convertible. I hear that Ireland Engineering is pretty good when it comes to that stuff. Anyways, I need something that will be comfortable as a daily driver and good enough to occasionally track / take to autocross or similar events. It'd be a plus if the springs and what not were adjustable in-case I get new wheels in the near future.

    Anyways, advice would be appreciated on what setup to go with.

    Thanks,
    Spencer (Turge)

        I agree, it's really not that much more expensive.

          Oh note, if you are on stock springs and shocks, you WILL notice a big difference in going to H&R sport and Bilstein sport. It'll feel like a different car if what you have right now is shot dead ;-)

          That said, I'm running H&R sport, and want to go H&R or similar with my bonus check, but I do not DD my car. I drive it when I want to do track days, need to get some driving machine weekend fun it, or need the streets of Seattle to do spinal readjustment
