Remember though the mods will bump you into harder and more competitive classes.
If you have any questions about the SCCA and autocrossing I'm the guy to ask

If I go with the Eibach Prolines, will I need a camber kit? I have seen quotes from different vendors stating anywhere from 1.2" drop to 1.75" drop and one vendor even said a 2" drop.
Where is the line for needing a camber kit?
Will new springs help with the 1320 times at all? (aerodynamics or some crap like that?)
Thanks for all the advice as well!! :thumbup:

i would seriously (as already stated) get something adjustable.. somethign long term.. with adjustable coilovers, if you do not set a drastic drop, you will not need a camber kit.. then later when you have the extra cash get the camber kit, and lower a little more.. i just think springs are lame because the hight is non adjustable.. so you buy em.. take a chance.. and HOPE its right...
BTW: do not take me the wrong way.. im an opionated pushy bastard.. lol these are just my thoughts.. of course.. do whatever you please = )

I appreciate your advice and don't find you to be a pushy bastard, but I think you are forgetting how much cash I have to blow. I have always believed if your gonna mod your ride, buy good mods, not cheap crap. I can afford good springs right now which will do me for some time, but I sure can't afford a set of Skunk2 Coilovers. If I buy Brand X, I am out the cash AND I got a suck-ass set of coilovers that I don't like as well as a good set of springs.
I get pissed at the posts where people are whining about the lack of cash flow. I always think "Go buy a Kia Rio and quit trying to mod somthing you can't afford." I am trying not to whine, but I know I don't have the cash for good coilovers.
