Talking Spoon and Tein and Ingalls....oh my!

Okay everybody out in Dragva land...just got my shit together and spent a nice relaxing afternoon doing what everybody loves to do...spend time, breaking fingers, covered in oil grease and other shit...just to make your car approx. 1in lower...and handle better.
Just put on my Tein SS stuff...which I'm happy to say feels great next to the completely dead 140k shocks I had before (they were from the factory folks!) and since I had nothing better to do...I strapped on my Spoon Sports strut tower bar...which was very shiny and pretty...tapped on my Ingalls camber kits (only to have them slide and give me negative camber after my little victory lap around I-64) and finally strapped on my lower tie bar...which so far I have figured doesn't do a God Damn thing!

But now I'm lowered... fearing for my life at every bump in little creek...but I want more... so here is my next question...


How can I stiffen up even more? Its lowered, 16 way adjustable (I have it set on mid...just my style for right now) and I still feel really loose. Sure it drives great but I want it a little tighter.

Any suggestion from your racers out there?

come to an autox, and push your car to the limit. you'll find out that 1 psi in your tire can make your world change. the biggest thing you can change though is you.

maybe after a little more work to my car. I have yet to build my b18a1, but when I do, I'll have to come out and give the cones a run for their money!

strut, and sway bars might help too.

you might want to look into a suspension bushing kit too.
