Not yet but thinking about it for my CCSB. I just installed Caltracs yesterday and a set of ET streets. Went to the track last and all my traction issues are solved.. For now.....

Not many adjustable options without spending a lot of money. You have qa1's but while your spending that much, might as well
Go coil over...

I think my dad has those. If they are the same ones they are more for hauling/towing than for racing. He put them on to help give some extra hauling ability when he tows his boat. They seem to work well and give an extra 500lbs of capacity or something like that but not sure if they would help in a racing application. I don't believe his are adjustable in any way either......
