    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.

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

            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.

                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!

                  Sorry for changing things up, but I'm out on this guys. Do not fret though... One of my buddies will be taking my place. He will want different spring rates, but regardless he'll be in my position.

                    Meanwhile I need to wait 10 days for PayPal to transfer funds into my account. Dammit, how can they expect 10 days to be acceptable?

                          I'll just let you know that I am 100%, but if you've got ten people by friday or are ready to order don't let me hold you guys back. I'll just keep cursing PayPal under my breath.
