Biltstein will change valving to whatever you want, but you have to send the shocks to them for this, and you still have just the one setting for bump and rebound. OT...Thinking of going to NZ for my honeymoon, what is the climate like in June?

So maybe the Koni's are the better bet given they are adjustable?

NZ951, It is a pain in the *** to adjust the rebound on the front and you basically have to learn to disassemble the rear ones to adjust the rebound/stiffness if you have konis. So, it is a pain in the ***. If you haven't done much in the way of DE though, the last thing you are going to do is adjust your suspension. That probably won't happen anytime soon. Unless you are on some track day binge and go like everyday for a year or something like that. Our cars run great with stiffer bars, new shocks and stock spring rates. Would run even better with stiffer front spring, different t-bar and konis. Cheapest go fast sticky solution.

Take the difference in price between the cheap solution and the crazy solution and buy more track time. It will be more fun that way. You won't overdrive the cheaper solution any time soon.

Full Size track etc.. Do you have a link. If that is the case I hateyou.com. Just kidding. DE here is expensive as caca. I get about 5-6 DEs out of a set of khumos. Rims were free. Of my dads 930.

Has anyone done this on a daily driver? If I do this will I always have to worry in the back of my head about something not being able to support the strees no matter what hardware I use? I don't want to get stranded on a long drive.

Is there much weight savings in deleting the T-bar?
