you'd be amazed how much the proper alignment can do. it can turn a ho-hum handling car in to a turn machine. (or vice versa)


as far as any other mod, pick up some good adjustible dampers 1st.

Right now, -2.6 on the nose, 1/32nd toe out (the car will naturally toe in under acceleration, so running a lil toe out helps counter act that tendency, and the toe out helps a little with corner entry)

the rear has -1.6 and 0 toe (the rear will tend to toe out under acceleration ect..)

best bang for the buck, handling wise. Koni sports, hands down. After that I'd run Tokico D-spec's. then maybe KYB's.
