Coil-over/Suspension question
Hey guys,
Currently my suspension setup consist of the following: Stock V6 front sway bar, steeda adjustable end-links, Koni STR.Ts, Eibach pro kit, BMR PHB, BMR LCAs, BMR LCA relocation brackets, UMI adjustable UCA, and a k-member brace. This car is primarily going to be going in a straight line and I want to set it up better to do so but at the same time I want it to handle well. Here is my questions:
I want to go with a coil-over setup for a few reasons: I have a drag wheel/tire setup that consist of skinnies and with my current drop the chin spoiler is what seems like centimeters from the floor with the skinnies mounted. With a coil-over setup I would be able to lift it up in the front during track days for obvious reasons, also its my understanding coil-overs will be a lot stiffer then what I have now which is what I am looking for. I will also get camber plates with the coil-overs if they don't come with them.
Which coil-overs would you all recommend if all I want to do is adjust ride height and will give me a good amount of stiffness? I have been looking at the ST coil-overs on Strano's site as an option or the H&R street performance kit which I hear is really stiff. I am also thinking about going with Strano's 35mm front bar and chromoly rear sway bar, let me know what you think!
PS. Please don't tell me to contact Sam Strano for his recommendations, I've tried twice on here with no response.

For a coilover with height adjustments only the Eibach Pro Street S kit seems to be the best bang for your buck. They're mono-tube and hand assembled at Eibach USA which means the shocks can easily be serviced if ever needed. This is an overall very balanced package. Maximum Motorsports also offers a camber plate option for them as well.
