this car shares daily driver duty with my F150 -- not sure it requires camber plates for me to get around town.

but you are right, the price difference is nominal.. so maybe I would go stage 3 if I was REALLY considering it.

Plain and simple... I never planned on buying the GT3 (amazing what effect my wife's pregnancy had on me) and I certainly never planned on modding it... I just cannot justify spending more money on either... especially the M5.

I was going to do M5 suspension, but I went for the CF goodies for my GT3 instead.

Meh, don't do dinan! It's overpriced for what it is.

You're going with wider tires up front, so you should stick with your stock swaybar (according to dinan). Which is half the cost over the stage 1 kit)

Go with the dinan strut tower braces and get a good set of coilovers that allow you to adjust damping and corner balance (you can't corner balance a car that doesn't have rideheight adjustability without physically adding weight to the corners of the car to accomodate).

You would LOVE KW's. They're a good mix of comfort and performance.

Check out the KW Variant 2's. You can leave them on soft damping for family and daily driving and move them to full hard for when you want to get down and dirty.

That's full retail price, you should be able to get them for less.

I recommend them, I loved mine, I just wanted something a bit more aggressive.

I hate to say this but I agree with Mitchel on the Dinan bits. They ARE overpriced for what they are. I'm wondering can you get KW coilovers and sways for less?

I honestly don't think he's going to need to touch his sways. He can do the rest of his adjustability in his suspension settings. He's going to have to leave his stock front swaybar on anyways according to dinan with his 275's up front. If he stiffens it up, it will tend to understeer more.

Thanks guys...

I agree... KWs would be a good choice... but unless you are both offering to sponsor me... this is a moot point


Now about my wheels... Mitchel... you found a buyer yet?

Don't twist my words around buddy... that was a hint of sarcasm thrown into my earlier comment.

Not exactly for free...there's no such thing as a free lunch so you'll have to pay the man with a couple beers or lunch.

Free, no food or beer involved, though it won't be left out in the cold if it's put in front of me.

I would love to see this suspension on your car PJ.
