GB - Ground Control stuff

[Kwaaahhh]

Any idea what would be a good spring rate and height to go with for my vert? Currently the car has bilstiens and want to get it pretty low without bottoming out. TIA!

Seriously considering this, just have a question I couldn't clearly find an answer on.

I just bought brand new regular Koni shocks this winter, would I have any issues using them if I don't plan on shortening the strut tube?

Nope, the shortened bodies just make it so that you can cut the strut tubes and make it lower.

Lots of people run Bilstein sports w/ the coilovers.

Also, any idea when this is going to happen?

I believe this upcoming friday is when money is due.

Alright I decided on a spring rate. Kinda was running around with numbers, but I'm going with 400/600

I'm sorry guys, been buzy the last few days. I am in the middle of my swap as I type. I am going a different route with the suspension, so I guess I'm out for the coilovers.

I may been in for some camber plates though. I will know more by Monday.

Did you get my pm?

500/650 rates are higher than what is normally spec'd for street use. Most of the rates that have been requested are what I would consider aggressive use.

Looks like I'm the only one with an M20. Not sure how that changes anything, but what do you guys recommend. I'm selling off the IE3s I never used to go for some Ground Controls.
