Message Was curious on your thoughts on suspension. I went to the Powertrix 7K/5K last year, but our roads are getting worse all the time around OKC and it makes for a jarring and annoying ride. I’m finding myself not wanting to drive it as much due to the ride. Everyone raves how good and smooth these are, but that’s on smooth pavement. I have seen where a couple of the guys used the NA springs with OEM adjustable shocks and were happy with the drop and maintain the nice ride. Also, have seen many complain about how bouncy the Eibachs are, especially with the OEM shocks. Before I bought the PT, I snagged an almost brand new set of OEM shocks for a good deal. I have some NA springs as well and am tempted to just install them to see, but I hate having to have it aligned each time.

I do some track stuff, but it’s just HPDE. The PT are great, but I don’t know if I can take it much longer. Thought I would do the NA springs or something progressive with big sway bars to control body roll. I have all OEM bushings and control arms with the PT and the 300 degree camber plates. I’m at the maximum drop to maintain OEM alignment specs. Not looking for super low, just enough to reduce the wheel gap with 18’s. I use 350Z Rays V1 wheels for DD and have some 18” RPF1’s for track. 350Z Brembo calipers and RP rear setup.

Any thoughts you can offer, I’d appreciate.
