Yes, I still have doubts on the RideTechs, whether it is warranted or not. My aim was:
-lower ride height
-more damping
-weight reduction
-stiffer springs

Staying reasonable on cost was one factor that pushed me to the Ridetechs.

They did deliver on all the above criteria, but I do understand that there are other factors that dictate a positive upgrade. The subjective "feel" is something that went away vs. the OE 1LE struts/springs/alignment. But I did make other changes that may have also changed that. I have played with different combos the last few months and I am on the right track for that "feel" unfortunately winter is here and that is the end of the fun.

And how do I quantify the changes? I did not have any data on the OE setup, other than I thought the car needed more help in transitions. No times on the track before or after, though I had 2 other 1LE's to compare mine to. The first was at the event I mentioned in post #3. He had more power, but I laid down faster times. He did confess to not running his very hard. The other time was my first track day in this car. I have time at (part) of Pitt Race but they added a new South section to the North section so I had to learn a new part of the track along with some tuning. There was another 1LE there and he has hundreds of miles there and I only got to run with him in my 2nd session (of 3) he walked away from me. IIRC he had at least Detroit Speed springs, camber plates. Track time was the big advantage there.
