FWIW, if you daily your car with SPL bushings and manage to drive in the rain, some dirt and gravel, the bushings will wear out fairly quickly. I've had mine for about 15k miles and they're starting to knock around and squeak.

As much as I would hate to revert to something more compliant, I might get the Energy Suspension bushings.

I have OCD when it comes to noises in my cars so I'm sure I'll lose my mind if I don't change them out.

you hear some extra road noise and it seems that going over bumps and imperfections in the road were a little more harsh.

But other than that, the handling was better and the steering felt more crisp

what is this - like the 5th time your parting out?...I call BS - just get the tire fixed, weld that crack or leak in your wheel, Fix the ground on the air ride action (if that hasnt been done yet) and call it a day.

Its a real bad love hate relationship right now.

I am waiting for my wheels, I may go with 255/275 tires to square it out a little, I think the stretch on my current wheels arent solid enough for my camber.

What do you guys think? Rip everything out and cage it and go back to coils and find some other car to show?
