    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 put NM springs - Koni FSD strut/shocks - NM sway bar on my clubman. The ride is very good, probably an improvement over stock. And the handling is very much is improved. This lowered the clubman about an inch. I feel like this is a very good street setup.

    I have Megan coilovers on my clubman, lowered the car almost two inches. Handles very nicely and the ride is okay. I do have the Alta exhaust and I like it pretty good, but had some fitment issues that required a return trip to the shop.

    Perhaps the better question would be is it now worth the price since they have it on sale for 50% off... Seems like a deal that would be hard to pass up.

    It's not all 50% off as the springs are not Alta's. I find their sale to be confusing if you ask me.

    I like the H&R springs and I have an ALTA sway bar on my 05 that I have been happy with so I decided to go ahead and get the package. I am not sure I would have paid the full price but with the 50% off it became a much better deal. I did not understand the pricing either but by buying their package they did give the discount.
