you got skunk2's from canadian tire? WHAT? 580 that is awsome,
so no problems yet? also a 1 inch minimum drop to a 3.5 max that is exactly what I want so no problems with the stock struts? this is too good to be true

so this is the spring/perch combo ? for $580 that's crazy cause i got a quote on some ground controls from a speed shop and they wanted $800 for those, g/c can't be that much better than the skunk2.

No offense, but people usually think that they can go around corners SO much faster with springs and sway bars and everything....its really not all that true. Its far more of a feel and balance thing.

Thanks grandpa!

"safe" cornering speed is in the perception...
of course, your tires will play a major roll in your max grip around a corner

but if your car rolls less then maybe you just feel more confident in cornering at higher speeds..

so it feels safer although your car still would've been able to make the corner with stock suspension.
