      I'm assuming there is no way to get just 2 springs and adjusters? I have to figure out what spring rate is best for me...

        So with two days left, do we actually have ten people in on this? I kinda need to know cause I need to get this asap. It would be nice to save some money but if we don't have enough people, I will just go ahead and order the kit from GC.

          I don't know why Jean isn't replying. But, I don't think you will be able to get 2 springs and adjusters. It comes as a whole setup for front and back and then you have to buy the adjustable camber plates separate. You could buy the 2 adjustable camber plates, because that is all you get, is 2. The camber plates are for the front only.

            Give it time. Jean has a life so I'm sure he's not at his computer 24/7 to check r3v.

              Ok, that person he's waiting on is me. I was finally able to register and post here. Let's get a tally of who is in/out and what they are looking for specifically.

              If you know what you want, ie, spring rates/lengths and understand the principles of suspension tuning, that's great. Specify what you're looking for. (chassis info, damper info., spring rate f/r, spring length front rear). I will review all requests to make sure that the request is within reason.

              If you are unsure of what you want, that's ok too. Just message me and I can figure out the best option for you.

              By the way, let's just keep it to full kits right now. Half kits gets confusing and complicated.

                      I'll take 400/600. What are my length options?

                        Please also provide the damper info. Rather than spec length, let's talk about primary use. 450/650 is pretty much a track day setup and not very accomodating for street use. You'll also need appropriate dampers to control the spring energy as well.

                        So lets do this and just add to the list. Thanks!
