Is the Steinjager endlinks the ones to get? Any reason to pay more for LG, AFE, Hotchkis..... Do they come with proper hardware, spacers......? Want to go ahead and order a set. Should they be adjusted to neutral with the car resting at it's sitting ride height? Need to double check my tire pressures as well. Just got my tires mounted and have no clue what they filled them to.
I'm just running GM non adjustable metal links with my hotchkis sways.
Good way way to corner balance a car is with coilovers and adjustable end links.
Set tire pressure/driver weight/ride height. Get on the scales and corner balance with swaybar disconnected. Then hook up the swaybars (adjust endlinks as needed for no preload).
90% of us weekend warrior racers won't need/feel the difference between adjustable and non adjustable endlinks. Biggest benefits are wheels/tires/shocks.
I've had my car corner balanced twice with the Pfadt coils I had before. Never noticed a difference and never liked my setup. Won't pay for it again. At this point, just want the car to be able to handle driving on the street without every crack in the road feeling like it is gonna rattle the car to pieces. And get my handling back for some spirited driving now and then.
Wanted to follow up. Had a chance to get in for my alignment today. I did not raise the car anymore than it was. Didn't have time but may give the rear a couple turns when I get a chance. But for now at this height, feels pretty good. My settings right now are 2 in the front, and 8 in the rear. I'm gonna try 3/9 and see how it feels. I will say this though, my suspension feels far more compliant than it did with the Pfadt coilovers.

Looks right to me! I drove mine to work today because the wife stole my truck (and her jeep is at the dealer)
Small thread revival, I just ordered a set of these from TPS for $1249 shipped. I went with the 550F650R setup. I plan to do HPDE and mountains runs. My "new" all stock '99 FRC with 74k miles is strictly a toy and I was not happy with the factory springs and dampers. I drive pretty hard and know what it like to be on a race track... I was getting a lot of "wiggle" when throwing the car into a moderate corner and had to wait until it settled itself before making any additional throttle, steering, or braking inputs. Hopefully these new coilovers will inspire more confidence. I may need a front bar and control arm bushings, but I'm going to wait and see how she feels with the Aldans.
I have no doubt you will love the Aldan coilovers with that set up. We have numerous customers running that exact same set up in various events finishing in 1st to 3 rd place finish.

I am very much looking forward to trying them on the street and track thanks much!
