Hello,
I have done a lot of reading/searching and cannot quite find the answer I'm looking for...
Current set up: 2003 SVT coupe with stock springs and bilstein dampers. Full MM rear bushing set up with IRS tie rod upgrades.
I will be upgrading MM front grip kit soon.
This is a HPDE, Road Coarse, Autox car with some limited street usage. Not a DD, so I can tolerate some ride harshness.
Question: Can the stock bilsteins work with H&R race springs in road coarser/autox application?
The reading reading/research so far indicates: yes/no/maybe and everywhere in between. And google tells me that stock 2003 bilsteins are and are not the same as HD's, and are / aren't the same as Cobra R bilsteins. So every where I look gives me a different answer. Someone must have tried this set up in track application...
I'm not concerned with how it will look lowered, I am concerned with how it will corner, remain flat in curves, behave under load and resist brake dive. In other words, faster track times, without going to full coil over set up. (I may upgrade to this later as my skill level improves)
Thanks in advance for the input
