Re: Suspension setup

The Sports are not, which I'm actually not too worried about, and everywhere I've looked the Koni's
have been a fair bit higher...

Where does one get them for a lot less $$$? And how much is a lot less? :-)

Thanks!

decent roads? Will my VR6 need camber adjustment plates as recommended by
H&R? It doesn't lower any more than the sport, so I don't see why, but then

No reason not to get the race, less body roll than sports, and firmer ride.
Decent roads? Hell, what's that? Around here (Chicago area) all we have are
potholes, and pothole patches, and I'm very pleased with my race/Koni setup.
Your VR6 won't need the camber plates, just get it aligned 1/16 toe-out and
as close to -2 camber as possible (probably wind up in the -1.4 to -1.6
neighborhood), and you're good to go. It'll turn in like a mofo, so be
prepared for it, particularly if you have a front stress bar.

You'll love it.

Are the Bilstein Sports adjustable? If so, you might want to look into the
Konis - adjustable and a LOT less $.
