everyones idea of acceptable ride is going to be different, i'm perfectly ok w/ the JICs or Motons w/ really stiff springs and sways s long as the damping can be turned down.

you upgrade droplinks for 2 reasons strength for a bigger bar and geometry on a lowered car when you start running the rear sway beneath the suspension arms instead of above as on the street cars.

other things to think about
sways - adjustable RS are great
bushings - RS are extremely desireable 4 in front and 8 in back
camber plates - for tracked cars
solid rear sides - for lowered cars
uprights - RS are mandatory on lowered cars

don't forget that there are price points too, the cost of a Moton or JRZ setup is going to be double or more a Bilstein hd/RoW M030

^^^^^^^^^^^^
"the best way to make it ride lower, without spending too much money"

guess it's most of all for the looks, as a 4S is not the first choice high-end-equipped track-racer. imho...



@ABCar:
thank you.
just perfect.
yes.
many thanks again.

Add PSS-9's on my 4S and liked them very much. Your 4S dosn't have to be a F1 race car to take the time and select a suspension that not only looks right but feels right. If you are on a budget try to stay with a M030/ROW spec, I have driven stiff spring swaps on stock shocks that felt like $hi^
