DSE relocation kit
Guldstrand mod
tall upper ball joint

Rod/Vince the feedback is much appreciated. To clarify I'm running a speed 1 kit (traditional shock & drop spring) no coil over, with an unmodified original subframe. Currently have not done any hole relocation or guldstrand mod. DSE techs have not advised to run there speed kit 3 upper mod, to be honest I had not heard of this until you guys mentioned it here. Only had knowledge of the guldstrand mod...

I will call and get there feedback on this with a non coil-over application. Leaning toward the tall ball joint still, hoping gains although minimal will be beneficial over stock geometry.
