Yeah, it's pretty rusty under there, which makes me nervous. My current plan is to build it up a little on-car when I throw in the new bar. BAT claims the rings on theirs help with that problem. The fact that you road-race and don't have any issues with oversteer makes me think about a 21mm. And I honestly shouldn't be spending money on a full suspension kit right now, it just wouldn't be living within my means. I'm saving up, thinking about it, but I don't know if I want to sacrifice all my disposable income on one item. OTOH, I have been doing my research, and I'm ready to jump on that new Koni kit when the time comes. I check my springs and struts just about daily hoping for failure. Also, the stock suspension makes the car slower, and tougher to handle, but isn't bad in the same way as the understeer. Understeer is just upsetting me now, and disrupting my improvement, whereas I can improve my driving skills just as much on stock suspension as on Konis. Another consideration is that I live on a bad dirt road and would have to crawl around with the car lowered, although the stiffness would help.

Not that I've given this any thought.
