That doesnt looks half bad. i mean the front is just a bit higher from sportlines to pedders, and the back is like .5' higher compared to the sportlines. A little sacrifice for a better ride, and more confident suspension.
function>form i guess. time for some meatier tires.

Tire wise, im in the same boat as you. Im considering the Hankook v12 Evo's or Dunlop direzza star spec. I'll be doing 1 or 2 autox events, a bunch of drag racing, and a possible track day, come summer time + daily driving. ill be sticking with 235's noo need for a bigger tire.
I used this compo to somewhat decide. waiting on my tire guy to give me the best quote on both, at this point the hankooks are looking good.

why not just buy some dedicated track tires aka R-comps? than just get a regualr street tire for daily use.
thats what all my tuner/track friends do. if i had cash i would but cant have 2 set of rims/tires sitting in my garage all year round.

unless they tested these springs on an lnf they are worthless on the lnf cars....no questions asked. pedders were gone on the lnf struts and have proper rates for the struts to actually improve handling....however if d2 tested these on the lsj cars the rates will be poor just like every other spring(other then pedders) on the lnf cars.

if you guys dont like it whats said or what is bein said just keep your comments to yourself...thats half the reason this forum sucks now. people think crap products make cars better and no one has an open mind to others likings.
