official touge event suggestions

Were having an oficial touge event in the mountains and im looking for suggestions as far as suspension goes. Im going to be running either on 280 treadware summer tires or if I manage to get them some ecsta XS. Im planning on filling in my motor mounts and was wondering if I should stick to stock suspension or with megan lowering springs. I will be going for -2 camber up front and -1 or so in the back. The road is in decent shape and has been recently paved, the run is around 2 miles long with plenty of corners.

If price is an issue. Megan's will work fine. They are a good beginner setup. But if you got the money, some K&W or Silks are worth it.

just wanted to clarify that I was talking about lowering springs and not coilovers.

Just springs will make your car run like crap. Your shocks will have too much pressure in them to be useful and you are just squeezing the life out of them. Do it right or don't do it at all, stick with the stock suspension. Use the body roll to your advantage.
