Hey guys, I'm looking at buying an SLP Stage 1 suspension (the SLP Bilsteins and a matched set of Eibach springs), and I was wondering how it stacks up as far as a race-able suspension for a daily driver car. Specifically the springs, I have no idea how they rate against, say, DMS, Hotchkiss, or even the other Eibach springs. Any suggestions? Thanks

While it is probably better than stock, I think you can do better spending the same amount of money or a little more. What do you want to use the car for? That's the first question to answer. Revalved Bilsteins, Eibach Prokit spings, 35mm front bar and 21mm rear bar seems to be a popular set-up that people have been happy with for daily driver and autocross.

I've got Koni SA's front and rear with the Ground Control coil overs and weight jackers. The car is my autocross car and sadly once again my daily driver. The 550lb front and 150lb rear springs are great on an autocross course. They're also great out on the highway, but driving on city streets everyday it's a little too much. But the beauty of the ground Control set-up is that you can easily change spring rates.

Hope this helps.
