--->Domenico: The Cabrio chassis isn't as strong as the hatchback, so while there are ways to improve the suspension, I'd venture to say you only want to go so far (i.e. race coilovers probably not the best idea) before I'd start worrying about chassis stress. A set of H-Sport springs and H-Sport Comp front and rear swaybars, and you should be good-to-go for all your street needs.

Of course, Detroit Tuned carries H-Sport, M7, and H&R, to fit your application!
Cheers,
Ryan

Really nice looking MCS!

The color combo is really nice too

BTW, Detroit Tuned rocks! Customer service is A1 and shipping was perfect! REally well packed and fast delivery! I got Helix SS and 2005 center console from them and will do business again with them for next purchases!
