Now all you have to do is loose the soft top and get the hardtop and the conversion will be complete!

Word on the street is that you can buy an AP2 bumper support brace to replace your AP1 brace, then you don't have to take a grinder to the brace and destroy the rigidity.

I hope that Alignment rocks hard tomorrow at the Auto-X I maxed out your front camber adjusters at 1.2....

Good luck sir and I cant wait to hear some feedback.

Digging this out of the archives as I am at 110K and probably 60+K on the suspension(swapped it out once already at ~50K). So I think I might want to go with the CR setup as well on my '00.

How is the new setup with the '00? Same ride height or did it drop a little? Thoughts on the suspension after you have now been hopefully driving on it for a few years and still loving the car.

CR Suspension lifts the car about half an inch from stock height.

That is really weird! If anything I would have thought that the CR would be lower to keep the center of gravity low and possibly help with down force.

The higher ride height might help my tire rubbing issue in the rear. Thought he stiffer suspension would probably help that.

One final question is the CR suspension going to be stiffer than the typical aftermarket suspension? Buddy/KW/Bilstein
