RSA Suspension options
I've got a 93 RS America that I am in the process of modifying. I find that the stock suspension is fine most of the time, but I do a couple of track events a year plus A LOT of spirited back road driving. In those instances, I'd something a little tighter. The Bilstein PSS9 looks good because of the adjustability, but it is quite expensive. Thoughts and opinions welcome.

JLR -
I also have a 93 RSA. One, of several, mistake I made was making incremental changes and not just going for it. I started with the stock setup; then Cup Car anti-sway bars, progressive (two-stage) springs and adjustable Konis - very good street & good track setup; then threaded the Konis, stronger and lower Hypercoils - awful street but very good track setup. Unless you are doing this yourself you'll be surprised at how quickly the labor cost adds up. Now I'm looking at doing it again, monoballs, or Cup Car suspension, or Moton or JZR yada yada yada. So unless you're doing this yourself the labor cost can make it cheaper to payup for a great setup only once.
