well, I'm getting adjustable strut tops for camber, custome rate springs, custom wheels so tyre clearances are no issue....


Keep in mind you won't get much adjustment out of your strut tops with those big-arse stock springs... there isn't much wiggle-room inside the strut towers. Coilovers are much more compact so you can dial in heaps more camber, as bbaacchhyy alluded to.

As for the rear end, I'm running 200 lb/in springs which are OK but a little soft for my liking. I reckon 225-250 would be ideal as bbaacchhyy suggested, although I will sacrifice some straight-line traction doing that. 280 is going overboard though; the arse end of an MA61 is skatey enough as it is, make it too stiff and it will become unmanageable.


id love to have a ride in your car to see how much stiffer it is than mine, i feel mine is stiff enough, especially for the street. on any shitty roads it even pisses me off
