Hmmm. Stephen, if you every roll through Fremont, you can give my car a spin and see how you like it. I have the Stance GR+. Not exactly the AL+ Pro, but I'd assume it'd be close. I think when Karlton took a spin with me in my car, I think he mentioned that my suspension was much harsher than his set-up. Just drop me a PM and you can give it a go and see what you like.

glider (craig) has some '02 wagon strut housings (don't know if he still does... i slacked on PMing him back i've been so busy)...
let's talk shop. spring rates... 400/300? i read 380/310 somewhere is ideal.
getting the bump extenders for sure... i think i will stick SA. and then front camber plates... whiteline or RCE? the RCE's are ALWAYS sold out.

I like my PDEs plates, the strength of the PDE plate is not in adjusting camber but in adjusting toe on the fly and repeatably. One or two holes up adds a bit of toe out and 0.2-0.4 degrees of negative camber for autocrossing.
For daily driving, I back the hole back down one or two holes and my toe goes back to zero. The repeatability of the setup is almost idiot proof (Which I like).
The RCE plates don't mess with rideheight as much, the Whiteline ones adds camber with caster better than any other plate. The Vorslag ones are just beefy as heck. Now if only someone made a plate that combined all the strengths of each manufacturer.

Should be a fun slush...out in the Integra in STS, and the 86 Civic Si may be about to become a GP car 
BTW, Dec 7th at Marina is cancelled, so now just 5 event slush. Too few volunteers stretched too thin
