Bilstein B12

2” drop is a lot, more than I’d want on a handling car, but yeah coming from base springs, the increase in stiffness on the ultralight linears is good.

If I could make a recommendation, consider the geomoetry correcting control arms and bumpsteer kit. It should wake up the steering feel on a car lowered that much.

Steeda claims a 1-1/8" in front and 1" rear drop for these, "Ultra Light Linear," as opposed to "Ultra Light Extreme," for which they claim a 2" drop both front and rear.

I have considered the geometry correction components but I haven't noticed a lick of bump steer. I should get the adjustable sway bar end links to re-level them. Car corners pretty flatly, though.

I've having the same springs and B6 dampers installed (I don't have it back yet). Did you really need sway bars?

Need is a strong word... Given the size differences between the BMR bars and stock, I am running the front on full soft and the rear at the medium setting. I like the balance, feels neutral to slight understeer... but it's a DD and not a track car.

IMO, the things the car "needs" are the front X-brace (stock, Steeda, etc) and the rear subframe improvements (BMR, Steeda). If you don't do those you're stacking upgraded parts on a sub-par chassis setup.
