Default What's the preferred setup on suspension?...

Coilovers or separate springs/struts? I have no idea what the difference is other than the Coilovers seem adjustable... But so are some of the struts. The coilovers are slightly more expensive too. I'm considering the H&R coilovers vs. Eibach springs/Bilstein Shocks/Struts.

Oh, I'm also considering the KMAC. Should I do full KMAC or 1/2 KMAC with adjustable arm? Any difference?

TIA.

Default tell us what you plan to do with your tt

track, autocross, street? Want a slammed look, or just a bit of lowering and improved performance?

That will lead to the discussion about KMAC/arms

Default It will be used for street performance...

Taking it to the mountains for some driving, but very rare to none on the track. I want the car lowered, but not slammed. I would guess and inch to inch and a half would be lowered enough.

Default Thanks... Should I also add the 19mm RSB and

DEFCON bushings? Or is that overkill for my application?

Default 19mm and...>

at least a half set of Kmacs for the rear. Defcons on the front will make for a very nice, responsive package..
