The AMG system is good but ultimately like everything that gets produced today is a compromise a system with fixed rates that has to cope with normal day to day driving and harder track use with more bias toward the day to day, an active system would allow you to set the car up for on road use and then change the setup to allow for hard on track driving.
Bilstein make the PASM system used on Porsche's and its very good indeed.
Can't really answer 1b mate thats a very personal choice certainly if it was something within your reach and being seriously considered i would encourage you but can't really make the call for ya. |
Thanks for the input. The PSS9 which is fully adjustable was recommended. I want to look at the cost of upgrading. I am looking at some used 55's because of the price advantage.
I also appreciate the input from the rest of the group. My wife has voiced some of the same concerns that was voiced on this thread. I understand that tracking seems to be hard on the car, but I monitor the temperatures, oil, brakes, etc., very closely. These cars are a dream on the track and handle well and hold up very well. N/A engines also have a HUGE advantage. I saw more temperature swings on my engine while driving through the hill country 4 weeks ago, compared to 90+ degree temps in College Station this past weekend. Dan has a point, on my way to work, hit a huge pothole, and worried about what I did to the alignment. The tracks are some of the best roads I have driven on. Other than brakes and tires, tracking seems to not be that bad on a vehicle. And it is a safe environment, compared to "racing" on a city street. Safe driving is the primary concern when tracking your car.
