Adjustable coil-over kits take performance springs one step further by allowing you to adjust the height of your car. When the 1¼" drop from Eibach springs isn't enough, you can further adjust the height by a simple turn of the adjuster. This is much safer then cutting the springs, since you won't be losing tension strength. The more you lower the vehicle, the tighter the springs will become, reducing the chance of bottoming out. This can be very beneficial if you normally use your car for transportation, but like to race occasionally on the track.

Ground Control offers a set of coil-overs for all Probes. They come complete with a set of Eibach springs.

Good tires are an important part of the brake system as well. A good set will keep your car from breaking loose under heavy braking.

When I got my GT, it had a good set of Goodyear performance tires on it. Even though they were 'performance tires' they broke loose every time the turbo would kick in. I looked looked into getting a set of high performance tires, but due to my overly satisfied experience with the Michelin's on my LX, I decided on a set of X-Ones instead. Not long after, I took an exit with a bit of a sharp turn doing about 100mph...leaving an '80s Camaro and a new Prelude who were trying to catch up in the dust. I would recommend these tires to anyone.

Adjustable camber/caster plates allow you to make quick adjustments to the front wheel angle alignments. Camber is the left/right alignment of the wheels, while caster is the front/back alignment. Caster alignment will do very little, if anything, for the Probe. Camber adjustment, on the other hand, will allow you to fix camber alignments outside of factory specifications. This is useful when the vehicle's been lowered. Lowering the vehicle can effect the camber angle of the tire, where the tops of the tires are closer together then the bottoms. This reduces the effective contact patch where the tire meets the road. Adjusting the camber after the vehicle's been lowered will return the tire flat on the road for best traction.

The adjustability of the camber/caster plates allow you to make on-the-fly adjustments. This is very useful when paired with adjustable coil-overs, which allow quick adjustment of the height of the vehicle. The vehicle can be lowered, then the camber can be immediately fixed.

The main problem with these are the adjustments themselves. Improper and unequal adjustments can cause unwanted effects, such as uneven tire wear and steering pull to the left or right.

Good tires are an important part of the brake system as well. A good set will keep your car from breaking loose under heavy braking.

After a year and a half, I looked into tires again. I found that the Michelin Pilot XGTs had better cornering traction and dry traction without much of a loss in wet traction. They've been well worth the money and are noticeably better then the X-Ones. Tread wear took a nose dive to 300 from 620 though.

Upgrading the shocks will produce stiffer handling and considerably better cornering control. Although this may be desired by performance enthusiasts, this can lead to worsened performance from your car. If your car's shocks are too stiff, even minor bumps can cause it to bounce easier, which will cause it to loose traction. For example, under heavy acceleration, the tires need all the grip they can get. Softer shocks will allow the tires to go over a small bump without loosing traction. If stiffer shocks go over a bump, the tire is more likely to lift from the ground, reducing the contact patch between the tire and the ground, which can cause the tire to loose its grip on the road. You should consider the pros vs the cons on shocks before upgrading, especially if you area has poor roads.

There's a procedure where some people like to lower their cars even more by cutting the springs down. Stock or aftermarket springs should never be cut since their spring weight is directly related to how high they should be. Cutting down the springs can cause the car to bottom out on heavy bumps or cause major damage to the struts.

Diving and squatting when accelerating and stopping was greatly reduced. The 1-1/4" drop makes my GT look more aggressive. The bumps seem a bit more harsh, but overall ride quality is much better. Handling is tighter, but corning seems only slightly improved. The biggest problem is the bottom of my front bumper scraping the ground when I pull straight into my driveway.

Although there aren't any direct fit kits for the Probe, most universal kits can be used.

All Probes have a moderate amount of understeer and very little body roll. Aftermarket sway bars will even out the suspension while reducing body roll to a minimum allowing maximum speed and control throughout the turn.

Body roll with the stock sway bars was minor. With the Eibach bars, the body roll was reduced to almost nothing. Severity of road bumps was increased a bit, but it's outshined by the overall better driving feel.
