Warning: not very good pictures because taken at night with halogen lighting.
These pictures are with the car on a jack, wheels hanging so the suspension is not a normal ride height. It's a daily driver as evidenced by the grease/grime build-up. I've got 36K miles since it was last aligned and even tire wear tells me it's still doing fine. The Carrera shocks aren't adjustable for dampening but the similar QA1 shock looked to be. These are adjustable for ride height.
I did do one other front suspension enhancement by putting a cross brace between the right and left suspension towers. I also put a panhard bar on the 9" rear. I can't say how much these two things helps with handling as I've had them on there almost since the car was built. I can say that the car handles like it's on rails though
Speak up if you'd like to see a picture of the front suspension brace. I can put up a pic.
