Why? Unless you have a dedicated track car, you spend 95% of the time on the street anyway. Shouldn't you be enjoying that time to the limit? I have spent that much on my suspension and I have never raced on a track yet (from lack of opportunity not will, however). I guess it depends on where you live. If you lived here, I can promise you that you would want to upgrade your suspension as much as possible because we have some awesome roads. If I lived in a big city with nothing but straight streets, I wouldn't feel the need. I can drive less than 5 miles and find 3 roads that will put any suspension to the ultimate test--as good as any road course.
