    So, how do these compare to GC's for a street DD? My front GC's are wasted and need to be replaced with only 10k on them.
    How do they compare in regards to "bounciness"? That is my main complaint with the GC's. They are nice and tight in cornering, but a bit bouncy over bumps, which I really don't like.

    I'm sick of expensive shit that fails or falls short of expectations. I'm in the market for a new setup and am not sure if I will go with GC so, you have my interest.

      if you are cleaning them out from D2, you should tell them to modify the spring rates for you, im sure they will do it.

          How are they wasted? They're guaranteed for life. I'd give 'em a call.

          Bounciness is usually a damper issue. Springs only bounce if they're not controlled.

            My GC's were altered by PO, thus voiding the warranty. I talked to hellabad here on the forum about them. Not GC's problem.

            The struts somehow pulled out of the tubes destroying the threads. They are also leaking oil into the tubes. The threads on both were pretty rusty. I was forced to drive it this winter for a few days against my best judgment/wishes. :???:

                I've installed 3 kits and will be installing 3 more shortly, and these are great in my opinion. Being realistic these are great for the street, and if you do the droplink conversion like I do on them there even better. If you track your car every weekend, than change the spring rates. Best bang for your buck,

                        you stuff alot of tennis balls inside the rear springs to raise the spring rate. it really works
