What shock for track racing?
I want to opgrade my suspension with some shocks better for trackracing. I currentlig have the stock z52 front, and monroe sensatrack rear.
Think the car is a bit Soft and wobling, and would love it to be more firm.
What do I need to go round the corners faster....

I went with the Z51 HO model Bilstein from www.vansteel.com . They are supposedly 20% stiffer than stock Z51s. That and poly sway bar bushings should give you stiffer but still livable performance.

Koni sports all around, set the rears to full soft and the fronts to what you need. It only takes 30 seconds to adjust the fronts...
You can set the fronts to higher settings on the track and soften them when you are on the street. Best of both worlds. The soft settings are very comfortable, the firm settings will give you what you want on the track, and they aren't expensive.

You're going to be hard pressed to beat the SACHS shocks we use in T1. They are just $150 each and were designed to work with the T1 springs, etc. I've run mine for 4 years now with no issues.
You can certainly spend more, but the SACHS are #1 in bang-for-your-buck!
