What is the ULTIMATE suspension setup?

The "ultimate" system does not exist. If you're looking for "state of the art" you might want to start HERE-

And yes, there is a very definite trade-off between 60' times and road course handling. Just for example, for handling you want a stiffer front sway bar, for 60' times you want no sway bar. Don't know whether Ruslow or the One Lap truck has better handling suspension, but I doubt that either is too practical on a daily driver. Imo my Ruslow 1100# coils are too light for serious road work, much less the Hotchkis 850#, but they are too stiff for most people to accept on a daily driver. Its all about trade offs- what are your goals, how much are you willing to spend, and how much discomfort are you willing to accept.

There are several different anti sway bars. I think that some are large and hollow, and some are large and solid (heavy).
The kit comes with front bump stops, just swap your old front stops to the rear.
Drag racing may actually improve times because the DS angle allows more power transfer from what I hear.

Hi guys. I had a Jason call me and inquire about a kit and the phone number got cut off on my voicemail. I think he said he was a member here. So, if you get this please call me. I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them. As always, if you guys have any questions please ask.

I have been doing some research and have talked to Penske about some very custom 8100 series shocks.

These will be a great all around shock.
Great on the street, but can be adjusted for autocross, road courses, or even drag racing. They won't be cheep, but if there is enough interest I might be able to get the price down. Right now for one set you can expect to pay $570 each. I know they are big bucks, but they will be better than anything else out there, and would be real bling bling. HEHE
I sent a e-mail to Steve to see if I can setup a group purchase, untill then I can't say to much more.

Sounds about right. I had talked to them a while back after seeing the OneLapAmerica truck's setup. (They're running the Penske's on the rear). It was around $1200 then.
