I talked to Robert fuller not to long ago from robispec, he said most of the coilovers were running slower than stock suspension, except for KW V3...

that and ohlin or Moton. but i think as long as you drop it below 2 inches and corner weight them with the driver in it with the proper alignment/toe setup, then you could improve over stock suspension. Lowered center of gravity is not something to overlook.

I'm reading upon dynamic alignment to figure out what would be the best setting for street/track.

something like toe out a bit, etc...

unless you're going to get: alignment for the height of the drop, corner weight with driver in it, and stiff springs with shocks setup that compensate for what you want to do (+/- axle spacer/sway bars), it's a loss cause.

It's like buying a GT40 and boosting 4psi. it looks good when you see it but it ain't gonna do anything for you, even make your car slower than stock.
