      Paypal, I'll be collecting right after checking with GC to make sure all is in stock. Once all 10 payments are made then all will goto GC. The reason for this is if someone backs out and we don't have 10 orders, I can then do a paypal refund w/o having to come out of my pocket or having it become a problem with GC and not having 10 orders in at once.

      I've been with paypal since 2001, and enough guys know me locally on here and other forums so.

      A friend of mine we'll be joining soon, to answer any other questions and help suggest rates/spring lenghts. If you choose some crazy spring rate, please be aware you'll need to make sure your shocks are chosen accordingly as well.

      Thank you.

        So do I need to tell you now what spring rates I'm wanting so that they have them when you put in the order?

          I would read and do research to have an idea on what you are looking for to get going. Correct.

            well I know what ones I want already, so just curious if you want them now or when the money goes in.
            Edit: I'm looking for 375f and 475 rear. Somewhat generic but should be good for slamming the car and having a bit of handling as well I hope.

                From what I understand I don't think we can pick the length.

                  No, length can be chosen along with spring rate. Just within reason, not something like 3" high spring.

                    Awesome, thanks Jean, is 6" shortest?
                    Jean, any suggestions on lengths?

                        Camber plates aren't required.
                        So, how would we get the steel rings/pieces that we would have to have to weld in place of the stock spring perch, if we were going to to that?

                          you could just cut down the diameter of the stock spring perch so it fits the outside of the adjuster.

                              Yeah, I could. But I want to go lower. So I'd probably cut off some of the strut tube, maybe about 2". But I thought that GC provided the steel pieces that take place of the stock spring perch.

                                Yes they do, follow the link I added it has pictures of it all. To take material out of the strut tube you need their shorter koni shocks since they go to the top of the strut tube.
