TRAILING ARMS: stpcl
WHEELS: 1998 RS 5 spoke
TIRE SIZE: Fuzion HRi, 205/50R16
ETC: Eibach rear camber bolts

Handles great, but I need to a stiffer front bar and replacement bushings and mounts all around. I could also use a stickier set of tires. Fuzion HRi's are a "sportier" touring tire, which is what I need for daily driving, but I'd like to pick up a new set of wheels with grippier tires within the next year or so. I'm planning on picking up an anti-lift kit, and I'd like to go to an entry level coilover system to achieve the ride height I'm after.

Making a car handle on dirt is a little different than tarmac, so some of my suspension set up seems counterintuitive, but it works well.

I like the struts/springs when maneuvering, but soemtimes the combo seems kind of stiff even on the struts' lowest setting. Trying to decide on softer springs or different struts. I can deal with it but sometimes passengers say its pretty rough
