There is definitely a difference between a street setup and track setup. Seriously though, I think that you will find the settings that I posted courtesy of another member on this board will work quite well for the streets. There is a bit of noticeable body roll but it is not bad at all and you probably won't be doing too many switchbacks on the streets of L.A.

Do you race at all?

I thought that the bump was fine. I did mine without even removing the tires! Took no more than ten minutes. I do remember you saying before that you did not like the bump adjustment but it really was not as difficult as you made it out to be.

I just reached my arm around the coil and modified the tool a bit and it was cake.

Yes, I did jack up the car a bit though.

I would rather adjust the bump than that single rear rebound wheel near the fuel hose. I hate that!
what mod did you do on the tool?

All I did was cut it maybe a half inch shorter and bent it to get around in there.

Hey Kobe,

Do you find that with your street setup that if there are multiple small dips in the road that your car is a bit floaty?

Yep, installed the same day I came to E-Autosport's shop. Working out great so far. Swift Sway bars, braces all under the car, handling great so far.

Went 50% on bump and rebound all around. 5 Seconds faster at WGI and 1st FTD at auto X in 2 years. Still need a spanner wrench that did not come with kit!
