Oh and I have no problem removing my post if you don't think they are value added as was not trying to rain on your parade!

I am not sure what you are expecting. A good track setup will not be a good daily driver setup. The track setup will also depend on your skill level. The more skill you have and the faster you go the limit becomes more of a knife edge. One small mistake will get ugly quick. I would recommend this for you.

1.) Hotchkis front sway bar only. You can get just the front. I did.
2.) Upgraded diff. The stock diff is not very good.

Once your driving skills improve, then figure out what your next step is.

I see a lot of your posts on many threads. I enjoy your advice.

Thanks guys.

I guess I was just simply wanting to know peoples track day setup that also drive on the street from time to time. The beauty is in the variety of answers and you can pick and choose the set up that might be right for you.

There is a track day set up thread already but it seems to just focus on camber caster toe setups, not parts, brands, measurements etc

You can go on forever with coil overs, true style vs oem. What are the pros and cons to mid links? How does one adjust for bump steer? There is no keep it simple stupid solution once you go beyond stock for a track setup because it all depends on how so many of the parts work together to fit your particular driving style.

Agree 100%. A great setup for one driver doesn't mean the same to another, very subjective to the person's skill level and past experience.
