| Message: | Bilstein Sport and HD have the same valving, Sports are shorter for use with lowering springs. So if HDs would or would not be acceptable to you, sports will be the exact same. Yes, lowering can produce more negative camber. In racing, this is often a positive thing. However, with these cars, everything I've read thus far has suggested that lowering _properly_ isn't as easy as slapping new shocks and lowering springs in. You can end up with too much bump steer in the front, the best part of the camber curve in front can be lost, etc because the car basically acts like the suspension is halfway compressed. You can get adjustable camber plates, or even fixed "crash" plates that will allow you to dial out some of the negative camber if you desire, however, things I've also read suggest that toe is what will really wear your tires out. Since no adjustments can be made to the rear suspension, the rear alignment may be affected by lowering, requiring eccentric RTABs to create some adjustability. I'd suggest doing some archive searches to find out some more info on matters like these before diving into a lowering project, I've held off on doing the suspension on mine because of all these complications, I think I may just end up going with Ground Control so that the suspension is entirely adjustable.
