Springs:

I'm just getting into this and I'm wondering what springs people recommend. I've been seeing/hearing a lot about spring. What do you guys think.

Also, I was reading a post about suspension problems. Specifically is it hard to find somewhere that does alignment on lowered cars.


Clutch:

My clutch pedal seems to have two modes. Usually it catches very high and the pedal itself has a lot of travel. I plan on adjusting that soon. But, when I try to accelerate at low revs (except in first) you can hear a click and the pedal gets softer and falls an inch or two and the catch point gets much closer to the floor. This goes away after a few shifts. Has anyone had this problem, or know what it could be. Thanks.

Shooting in the dark:

air in hydraulic clutch?
bad/weird pressure plate springs?


btw, lowering a car with springs usually increases negative (?) camber, meaning the tops of the wheels point inwards more. Not sure if you can do much about this though.
