it seems like messing with the suspension on a car is a totally different animal...so what would go bad if i put a JIC magic coilover kit on my car? i know someone who is selling a set brand new for pretty cheap...it's just that messing with the suspension on a car is going to be pretty crazy...i can only imagine with this car would handle like with all the GT spec bracing along with a nice coilover kit...maybe some anti-roll bars too...maybe pulling over 1 lateral G? that would be nice......

2" drop, 25K, no camber kits and you have NO tire wear issues? Not even a little extra wear on the inside of the tire tread? I wanna see pics.

I'm guessing he's talking about problems with the shocks...

Shock problems? Me neither, but I did have a bit of odd tire wear.

Aftermarket spring rates are not that much over stock, unless you are going with a sleeve coil-over. I'm still guessing a 2" drop is killing the shock as you have limited supension travel.
