Stick with factory rear and only change the front after you've picked a proper spring rate and still feel the need to fine tune things.



H&R cup isn't track worthy in my opinion. If on budget I'd rather go with TCK SA's.

Thanks. I'm opting for Falken Azenis rt-615ks. I have had great luck with these tires in the past.

I did explore the TC Kline options earlier. I like the idea of working with a local shop as I do not have the tools or space to do any of this stuff myself-but maybe I will reconsider the suspension. Again- the dood I am working with at Turner is certainly a knowledgeable guy, but he isn't a suspension guru like TC.

I don't really want to adjustable shocks. In my days racing VWs I always worked with Dick Shine at Shine Racin Services and he really turned me on to how good the right spring, shock and sway bar combo could be....he was never a fan of coil-overs and he was a magician with VWs....Imagine a FWD car with a hint of oversteer- but i digress.

Thanks for all the insight! although now I am nervous the HR kit will suck.
