I will tell you one thing right now - the build quality and engineering of the Alterkation is top notch. It's been a breeze to work with thus far, and Bill Reilly will spend as much time with you as you need - the guy is awesome. I went with 550lb coil overs in the front. That was the stiffest that Bill had, yet I suspect that I will need heavier ones. I'll figure that out after the build is done and I can drive it.

The stock suspension with a 1" sway bar provides about 880lbs of roll resistance. This setup, with 1.25" bar and 550 springs yields about 1300lbs of roll resistance.

The wheel rate should be around 293lbs... top autocrossers run 350.
