Hi guys, been awhile since I've been on the board...

I'm thinking about doing my suspension. The car just looks funny at a standstill. I measured the front and back ends of the rocker panel on both sides on a flat road with the car idling in park. It is down by a hair under 3/4" front-to-back on both sides, and a full 1/2" L-R at both ends.

Someone else a while back mentioned that it might be worn springs that cause the lateral imbalance, so since I've wanted to put sport shocks on anyhow, I thought I should also do springs.

However, the only springs I can find are on bavarian autosport... they have an in-house set and an Eibach set, both of which are for lowering the car about 1".

1) Do you think this is an urgent maintenance item with the F-R and L-R sides so far off with ride height? Should I avoid highway travel? Or is this just normal ride heigh discrepancies?

2) Should I lower the car? Is a lowered car as good as a DD, or is it really just meant for being on a track?

3) Does anyone know where I can get a set of springs that are just like stock, but cost less than OEM springs ($90 apiece)?

and lastly,

4) Bav Auto has a has a Racing Dynamics front stressbar for $250. Is it worth it? Can I get one for less, and does it make that much of a difference? I like to push the car while driving sometimes, but I don't have any immediate plans for taking it to a track...


TIA,

Andy
