Kevin:

I think Gary meant damper travel as that is the limiting factor.

Eibach are stiffer and cheaper than Dinan. Ride height is the same in front. Dinan is higher in rear. Normal Bilstein Sport front struts are too long. Bilstein will change the bump stops to give you the same travel as Koni. Camber plates are good for track use, not needed for street. The plates will consume some suspension travel. Factory camber correcting mounts add 1/2 degree camber, but are expensive.

raise the ride height about 1/4". They sit on top of the stock strut bearing and have no effect on the spring.
