Y'all are being pretty critical of this fella and his blog. Truthfully most folk got springs and see very little track time.
It's totally fine. I asked for feedback and I got it. Some of it is really good and has made me look at the blog in a different light. It's exactly what I wanted. I knew it would be helpful to some, but I also knew I would get some critical feedback. I can't know how good or bad it is without asking people what they think.

I plan to make a lot of resources and I want them to be useful to anyone. With feedback, they will be closer to that.

can't say 6 best when you don't include the entire sample
I'm playing devil advocate here. " best '' is subjective. For example with my build for a touge car. I could have gotten motion or penske. But my intention is different from the track. This is the point I'm making.

TBF MCS or Penske will be better on the street than anything else too. As long as you don’t overdo it on spring rate, high end dampers respond well to adjustments and will play nice in both environments.

So you plan on changing springs for the track and each type of roads you drive lol. I guess that makes sense because guys who have High-end suspension custom made normally change springs depending on the tracks they run lol

That’s not what I said. I said picking a good single sprint rate will let your suspension play nice on the street and track. You adjust compression and rebound for each scenario - high end dampers typically respond better to adjustments than lower end OTS dampers.
