I've been running FSDs for about a year now. I feel like they are a bit too soft in the front now that they have been "broken in." I'm vaguely remember a few of you going through different setups. I'm curious if anyone has run a combo with FSDs in the rear?

I'm looking at keeping stock springs and roughly a stock ride.

and I will go back and do a search on MSF. Might as well get some more content here!
 
Im running ebaich pro with fsds the ride is great, but i had some weird stuff going on during install. After putting the spring on i noticed that there is like no spring preload. As in i could basically move the spring even after tightening the top bolt down all the way. I also noticed that there was a considerable drop in hight 1.5" vs the expected .6" drop. Might just be my particular vehicle coping with the abuse it suffered at the hand of its previous owner. But as far as ride goes its very comfortable and plenty stiff around corners, but a little low for my liking.
 
I added Corksport Springs. Minimal drop, and they ride so much better than stock. I highly recommend!

This is not good news for me. I was planning on going with Eibach Prokits + Koni FSDs soon. I want minimal drop and was thinking the Prokits were perfect for what I wanted. At this rate, I might have to copy Raider's setup and do CS springs with FSDs, or just get the Bilstein B14 PSS.
 
I have the FSD's with Cobb springs, lowers the car 1" and is 15% stiffer in front and 25% stiffer in the rear vs stock springs. I have slayed the Dragon countless times with this setup and run away from cars on full coils. That said, I'll be swapping to the Bilstein's when I have the cash. I've had the FSD's for 6 years now so time to upgrade.
 
I think raiders set up is the way to go, ill be a copy cat as soon as i can. This particular speed will probably never see a track so FSD's plus a very reasonable drop will be all i need.

I’m running the CS springs and shock/strut package. I am very happy with them.

I went that route, CS adjustable struts and their springs a year ago as my FSDs were toast at 60k miles.

YIKES! I hope my setup lasts longer than that. I’m not that hard on my car, but do an occasional track day. It will be interesting.....
