ALTA Sport Suspension Package

Has anybody bought this package from ALTA? I have the standard suspension on my 09 S and the handling is not what I want it to be.

I don't know about you but that looks tempting as hell. Figure 700 dollars max on those...1 grand is a bit steep. Gotta factor into labor and all.

What part of the handling do you want to change? understeer? oversteer? corner load balance? Turn in? Torque steer?

Usually, before you start suspension work which can change the geometry of the car, you should try to figure what your goals are. Because the solution may be different depending on your needs.
