For sure, that's what I'd do if I had the ECS10. For a daily driver that very occasionally tracks, the e-shocks are certainly a worthy upgrade compared to standard OEM shocks.

Still, beyond the ability to adjust damping incrementally to track roughness and to fine-tune the car's cornering attitude, there are other downside to the stock ECS. First, the OEM steel shock tubes don't dissipate heat quite as well as the aluminum bodies of aftermarket coilovers. Second, OEM shocks are not rebuildable AFAIK and relatively costly to replace, especially the ECS ones. The shock oils, like engine oil, ATF, and gear oil, do degrade over time, and that'll affect their performance over time, especially if you work them hard.
Thanks for all that info. I looked into camber plates, but no such luck.

So far, I have 7 track days and roughly 27k miles in 4+ years. I figure they'll hold out ok for another 4-6. Laid off right now, so haven't done a track day in over a year.
