  1. OK. Brand new forum guy also brand new to Asheville, NC. Anyone know of any action: clubs, good performance shops, autocross in this region? Next, suspension questions. And yes, I've already read most of the suspension comments. The recommendations for springs, bars, struts & braces are right on. But I didn't find anything about my specific question. Past experience: When I did my 69 BMW 2002, I was well taught & supervised, and did the whole nine yards. Plus a major league motor (150hp vs 110 stock). Then everything else started breaking! Turns out old 2002s aren't overbuilt like old American cars, so I had to put in a strut brace because my windshield kept popping out, all new bushings, box out the crossmember & control arms, hardened halfshaft bolts, etc. So the question is, how well do the other parts in a 2005 LGT hold up when you start messing around with performance suspension pieces? I'm hesitant to do the springs because of this question. How do the bushings, steering gear, top hats, (front sway bar mount?) etc. hold up? And what does anyone think about just doing good struts, a front strut brace & good adjustable bars on both ends? If that works, my main problem is that all of the high performance end links I found say, even if they are adjustable, that they are sized for lowered cars. Anyone know of any good end links of stock length? OK, congratulations if you made it through this monologue! And any feedback would be gratefully appreciated, as I am dying to pull the trigger & get the beast to go around corners like a real car. If there are already any posts about these issues, could someone maybe point me to them. Thank you all repeatedly, and happy handling to you.
