upr is designed for drag racing, not street driving, Eibach has a rep that it real does not deserve, Maximum Motorsports race with what they sell

I just got some 4 banger springs under my car today and i jerked the front sway bar off. Hell before i had NO traction, now i can actually get on the gas some more and the front end flies up when i nail it, it launches like a basard now, i love it. As for a K member, i know a couple people with the PA unit, they're really great quality. In my opinion PA racing and Maximum Motorsports are on the same level. Make sure you get a K member than doesnt move the front wheels back or forwards, that can be a prob if you dont have skinnies. Im getting some MegaByte Jr lower control arms, ive heard nothing but good things about them so thats pretty much set in concrete for me.

um, they are exact opposite ends of the scale, PA is drag racing, MM is road racing....PA is very light and MM is not that light but has redesigned steering geomertry so the car will turn better

I've always heard good things about MM, never heard of PA though. What Im looking for is something that will give me good handling, but will be drag worthy when the time comes. whats the deal with Eibach, Twister? why dont they deserve their rep? just bad products?

H & R Springs have the BEST history of springs in racing, Indy 500 wins for decades, 24 hours of Le Mans, and to me, drag racing is like premature ijaculation, even if you mess up it is over in less than 30 seconds
