When I bought my car it came with 17" wheels, 2" drop spindles & 1" drop springs. It looks nice with this arrangement.
A few years ago I installed Bilsteins shocks.
Then last year I installed Metco lowers & some adjustable uppers with urethane bushings. The upper axle bushings were replaced with Moog bushings. Also have H&R rear bar & have removed OEM front bar.
Now that the car is headed more towards a street & strip type of car vs. imitation pro-touring car, I think that I would benefit from 15" wheels for some sidewall. Not sure if the drop spindles & springs are working against me. The front suspension bushings are original & should be replaced. Not sure if I would benefit from tubular A-arms. Do not want to sacrifice street cornering ability any if possible.
I've followed several suspension threads over the years & they seem to favor either straight line performance, or cornering. Can't recall if there was a happy medium.
While I'm at it, I would also like to upgrade the brakes.
What do you all recommend?
Thank you.
