Performance dampener w/ swift springs

DJ-of-E

Yeah, I want to do some "light" auto-x on the car as well, so I want to do my homework on the suspension to gain a little more cornering performance, but still retain enough of the comfort.

Otherwise, I would probably rather get the Tanabe Sustec Pro and have it installed there.

I'm trying to think of the pros and cons with the Swift Springs vs Tanabe Sustec being sold by Corner3 and have it installed there. I would like to install it on my own, but I'm hitting a point of my life where I don't have the time or energy to work on 2 cars at the same time. Also, after installation of either one, would camber kits be needed?

save your money and get tires.. springs will knock you into a class that you wont be able to win anyway

if you increase spring rate and/or damp rate, or even just the swaybars you put more burden on the tires. if you want to do handling mods correctly, do the tires first.

I'm still on stock sport rims. What tires should I get to replace with? Wouldn't better tires be around racing compound? Isn't that asking for bumping up a class anyways, wouldn't it?

if you want to keep it Bridgestone people use RE11, i'd get another set of S04 pole positions for my car. they stick considerably better than the RE050A's and super sticky in the rain.

also note that there is a difference between RE050A and RE050A Polepositions. (RE050A PP's were discontinued replaced by S04 Polepositions).

also try the Pilot SuperSports.

the Continental DW's are pretty good too and sticks better than the stock RE050A's but it's a softer ride... not sure if you want that or not. for me it gives me a more touring car feel so it's not bad. i won't be buying another set though.
