First off I just wanted to thank all of you for all your help, and now down to business:

my front struts are starting to hit pretty hard, so why now replace them with something better? I am thinking konis or bilsteins (HD) but while I am there I might as well do springs as well. If I go with eibach's pro kit how much traction will I lose? I will also be installing a 12-bolt with 3.73:1's and here are my other performance mods:

12-bolt 3:73:1
granatelli lca's
bmr stb
k&n fipk
tb bypass
hurst billet\plus shifter
taylor spiros
msd blaster coil
hypertech thermomaster powerchip w|160* stat
slp loudmouth exhaust
falken 255\50\zr16 ziex tires
poly tranny mount

new mods would be:
eibach pro kit
bilsteins (heavy duty)

and my question is how would my traction be?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

If anything, I'd think you'd improve your traction, but just a hair. Better shocks will help push those tires back onto the ground faster than your tired old ones, and the stiffer springs will help keep the car stable.

Of course there would be far more imact on traction with better, wider tires, but I certainly wouldn't worry about losing traction by going to those springs & shocks.

Thanks LPEDAVE,

I just ordered the Eibach Pro Kit and Bilsteins. Now, I know that I will need a 4 wheel alignment, but can you guys think of anything else?

thanks jay
