The car is still very comfortable on long road trips, and my wife is happy to ride along on long road trips. I have put over 40,000 miles on it since then. It steers like it is laser perfect, and can read my mind.

I did do a full alignment and corner balance after the suspension work. Oh, and it is at stock European ride height. Any lower makes it too hard to get up and down my driveway or parking lots with any ramp at all.

In my mind, it is the perfect setup for a street car and occasional autocross car.
Nearly identical refresh list as my 83SCab. I added 87 Carrera sways, raised spindles with hollow bars from Chuck. It has performed as planned, perfect spirited driver...for hours....on all roads. Next I'll swap in adjustable raised spindle KW's and adjustable Eibach 25/24 sways for a bit more tuning as I go.
