Suspension Question

I currently have the bilstein damptronics with tarett front and rear drop links, tarett rear toe control arm, and rss sways for front and back. I am bringing my car into the shop later this week and wonder if i should do anything else for my suspension since I'll be bring the car to the track soon.

Engine mount

You'll enjoy some new firmer engine mounts - more "feel" to the rear end! And it's not an expensive mod.

Personally, I think you have plenty...unless your name is Schumacher or Rohl...or TT Surgeon.

Actually, motor mounts are a good idea.

I would certainly recommend a toe steer kit. It makes a huge improvement for track use.

At least I'm in good company....
Seriously, if the car is lowered consider adj rear control arms (dog bones), make geometry adjustments a breeze. The cup control arms yield more negative camber....it all depends how fast you wanna go.
