The suspension components on your car are a very close match to my list, so a thumbs-up would give me a vote of confidence.

I took a look at the two threads you listed (very nice car, btw), and it made me remember one thing about the choice of wheels. After the suspension work, the next on the list (probably a year after recovering from the suspension) will be the brakes. Sticking with 16" wheels will certainly limit any brake upgrades that I can make. It seems 17" would give me more options for rotor/caliper sizes. Up until now my braking setup has been adequate, but then again, I'm not that good of a driver.

So, if I'm planning on a brake upgrade at some point, should I even bother trying to locate a set of 8x16 Fuchs, or just start looking for a set of 17's (I do like the Fikses) and run with the 6 & 7's for now? What widths are your FM10's?
The suspension is wonderful, you'll love it. In a few months we'll be offering cast Fuchs replicas for under $1000/set. Stay tuned.
