does that retain adjustable damping? Unless you'll be doing alot of track work, I'd go springs.

It won’t retain adjustable damping unfortunately.
But in my 20 years of modifying suspensions, I found that high end dampers like Ohlins, MCS, JRZ, etc. can feel incredibly compliant on the street when paired with proper spring rates and OE strut mounts.
I know that I’m going to break a lot of hearts for saying this, but I’m past the tracking/autox phase. In my case, the car will never see track time

So basically a car version of a jeep modded out for rock climbing parked at the mall looking pristine. Lol

No hate. Ive seen more than a few time attack show cars that will never see the track.

Nothing wrong with that. I found the most limiting factors at the track were brakes and tires. Autox was the opposite where brakes/tires mattered least and suspension mattered most (basing this mostly on my experience in STU over the years).My car will see 100,000 miles with track/autox time.

Of course driver mod above all.

Now manufactured in Japan specifically for Spoon. They are no longer made in Russia, as the originals were.
