Default lowering my ITR

I was looking at lowering my R a bit. Im looking at a Koni/GC combo, maybe just off the shelf rates. Do I need an alignment or anything else? What is the concensus on OTS rates? IIRC they are 500 front 400 rear, I do more drag racing than anything.

Thanks,
Sean

If you do more drag racing then anything else then I recommend something other then an ITR.

x3... dragging an ITR is a waste. R's arent made for straights. Dont beat that car to death on a strip, take it to an autocross event, track event, or at least canyons!

If your going to lower the car spend the cash and get a full damper kit such as Tein, Omni Power, etc. I would get a kit that was fully adjustable where you can stiffen the rear shocks and soften the fronts if your going to any drag racing.

Omnipower over GC/Koni setup?
