Default tracktability of my setup

ok,
so i'm building my em1's suspension and i'm wondering how good of a setup it will be. as of now it has
benen 3 point strut tower brace
koni yellows with eibach pro kit install tomorrow
asr rear subframe brace on the way
22mm asr rear sway bar on the way
blox lcas with prothane bushings on the way
stock front swaybar

planning on supporting rear strut towers soon, possibly trunk bar as well
i'm sure there's plenty of people with this setup
what can i expect from it?

sounds very similar to my old setup, it's a nice compromise between plush for the street and firmness for the track.

depending on which track you're talking (GLD or Blackhawk/Autobahn/Milwaukee or parkinglot event) I'd say you have a good starting point for any of them, but you'll likely want changes after then first few times you go out.

Again depending on where you're running, you want to check into the rules and mods that get you bumped into a class you don't want to be in...

as of this point im not planning on going to any events with this setup, i just want to go to an occaisonal open track day to get a good feel for the car. once i get to know the car better i'll most likely change some things and then possibly join events later on down the road.

i've owned the car for less than a year and i haven't driven it that often to see what it can do. but i didn't feel comfortable taking it to the track with it's previous setup...old rusted swaybars, worn bushings, and hp shocks. i'm sure this will make a noticable difference

I wouldn't go with the Blox LCA's or urethane bushings. Your OEM ones should be fine. Change your bushings if need be.
