GreenPlease, thanks for the kind words. It sounds like we are in the same boat. LOL! If you needs are similar to min, then give the AST a try. They are absolutely a superb performing system.

Any idea which coilover setup you are going to choose?

Thanks for posting all this; excellent photos.

What spring rates are you using?
stressdoc, thanks for the compliments! I totally about the flat springs with thrust sheets. I know the Swift springs were a little lighter, but I chose Hyperco simply because they have such a good, long standing reputation in racing.

The spring rates and length were selected by STETT but I can check if you want.

Again, I chose the Hyperco because of their long standing reputation. If you wanted Swift, it is a simple change that can be made when purchasing the coilovers.
