Too many days of LA freeways have trashed my suspension in lord only knows how many ways. When I bought the car it drove straight. Now it pulls to the right. I was just looking at it today and I realized that the entire right side of the car sits higher than the left side. I wish I had a digital camera to show you people how truly lopsided it is. And to top it all off, the trunk lid (I have a coupe) is warped. I think it's because of the Cusco rear brace not having enough play, combined with the rest of the suspension being too stiff. Sometimes when I go up driveways, I can literally hear all the metal twist like the trunk wants to pop right open.

I look forward to the future when the insurance company gets my settlement put together. I want to purchase a Ground Control setup with some streetable spring rates, and an LSD. Until then though, I guess I gotta go on feeling like the Road Warrior, bumping over expansion joints and bottoming out on potholes, speed bumps and the occassional driveway.

Did you suspension problems start after you installed the Bilstein/kgmm setup?
