stock WS6 versus what i have now?

ive been doing some reading and searching and it seems that my WS6 suspension is a lot better than i thought. well now im wondering if im doing positive changes to the suspension or just getting back to where i was. i bought the car with the eibach prokit installed. because of this i have gotten spohn adjustable LCAs and relocation brakets as well as a spohn adjustable panhard rod. the LCAs and PHR are poly/ rod end units so they are better than the base stuff.

so are these changes positive changes or should i go back to my factory stuff. i do still have the stock springs. i would preferre to leave the car lowered simply because it looks better, but if there is another better way i should go about it then please let me know.

this car is daily driven and will see autox and drag racing every now and then. thanks trey

Hey Trey! The WS6 suspension was very good for a factory car. With that being said, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

There is nothing wrong with the pieces you've recently installed. My only concern would be with the LCA's, not because they're bad, but simply because of the additionial noise you'll experience in the car.

My suggestion is to change the front sway bar and get better shocks. Those two changes will transform the car into what you might be looking for. The Pro-Kit springs are stiffer than the factory springs and need additional dampening to help control them.
