leaking struts in TA models
The biggest differences are piston size, adjustability (jounce/rebound, speed, etc.) and the spring rates. Long rides on the street can be rough on the bladder….even when on full soft. :) My wife makes me keep one car stock at all times.- lateapex

Alignment question
Is there the ability to corner balance the stock car? I can’t tell if the coil overs have a threaded spring perch. Is there the ability to adjust camber and toe enough to obtain a decent track alignment? If so has anyone established a good set up? Thank you, Karl- lateapex
