All but one of them are AWD, including mine. I had 2.8 on the front of mine, so did Al Norton. Manalex had well into the 2's as well. All turbo's. There was another member who sold his Turbo, he had it way up there too. The rear's were over 2* as well. The only mods were JIC with included camber plates.

Chad, Didn't read all the posts, but ya gotta put the money into the suspension. JIC's or PSS9's would be a good place to start and you might consider calling some tuner shops to see if you can find a set from someone upgrading to Moton's. You could save some $ that way. Also, it's nice to experience and learn from each incremental mod, but you MUST consider sway bars at the same time or shortly after you get the suspension upgraded. Also, during this process will be the time for a new allignment and camber options (maybe to GT2 spec).

I am leaning toward JIC's from the feedback I have seen and that they come with all the plates / pillowballs, etc.

What springs are you running? Are softer (lower number) better for track or harder (higher number)? What problems did you run into?
Lot of "fast" cars on this site that will never be driven to their potentially on the street or the track... You have demonstraited that you're interested in driving on roadcourses. You should really think about that when moving forward with mods. Suspension, brakes, and more seat time. That's what you "should" do. Adding power to the mix (and especially certain turbo combos) will only complicate your attempts at learning.

I'd do the following suspension parts:
GT3 Lower control arms
Rear Dog bones (You can search on my thread elsewhere about these)
Sway bars with upgraded HEIM Joint style drop links
thrust bushings for the control arms
Rear Tie rod ends with lockplates
Your favorite coil over.
Budget for scales/balance and a good alignment.
Shop Smart and you should have less than $6K in everything installed.
