I know that there aren't too many Bs running around with the lowered and
uprated springs, but I find the SPAX shocks to be a perfect match to the
stiffer springs. Considering the cost of the kit, that might be where the
SPAX conversion was aimed, rather then for the street. On the street I keep
them on full soft and turn them up accordingly for autocross etc.
