your shocks are great, need to make sure the springs, helper springs, camber plates, drop links and sways are all just as good and work well together. Talk to whoever did the Ohlins those are already an awesome set up!!
What sways are on and are they rear or front and rear?
Also, what is your ultimate goal for the car? If it is street use you should already be ok. My comments were more track oriented.

SMR if not then do the upper arms/links and monoballs everywhere. It'll make noise but hold the alignment better. Plus gives you more options. You can do the lower too but you can just use the GT3/2 lower arms that have the camber adjusted via shims etc...

Hey Sharky,

I think his car IS a GT2. I would recommend the beautiful GT2 suspension pieces that Fabryce sells from GMG...gets rid of the rubber and really tightens up the car and it will hold an alignment, I was very happy with the set up...till I sold the car to Claus...I miss her so badly!

I have started to install the suspension now and i go nuts on all the adjustment options the gt2 have, first the topmounts are very nice with a diffrent patterns, then the suspension tower has adjustble holes so the camber can be adjusted, and on top of that the lower suspension arm can be shimsed in and out

Please expalin a little for me
