I just bought a 95 240, and I want to get the suspension set up for solo 1, open track days, time attack ,etc. This is my daily driver, and I don’t want anything too stiff. I also want good handling. So I am not going with a budget coil over. From what I have researched on this forum I am going with a Ground control set up, koni shocks, progress sways, and an energy suspension bushing kit. I don’t plan on dropping the ride height too much, maybe 1". I don’t care what it looks like, as long as it handles well. So with this set up, do I need camber plates, RUCAS, or any other type of arm to keep my alignment within spec? Or is there something that you think makes a big difference in handling that you think I should get? (strut bars?) If anyone has a similar set up, is there something that you would do differently? Any feed back or recommendations is appreciated. Thanks

Most people here will most likely advise on coilovers. I have had bad experiances with some coils and an going with a spring strut combo. I just ordered KYB AGX's and H&R srings yesterday, I'll let you all know how those go when I get them installed. I took a serious look at coils and almost got the Stance GR+ pros after all my research I thought those were the best bet. I don't think that with a one inch drop you need to be too concerned with the camber unless your ultra anal about it.

So will I need any type of suspension arm, or camber plates (pillow ball mounts)?
