    Who's running GC's IX Coilover kit?

    Does anyone have any experience with GC's IX specific coilover kit? Anyone know what the spring rates are and how well they interact with the off the shelf Koni Adjustables? I emailed GC asking these questions, and have not heard back from them. If I don't hear from them by Tuesday of next week, I'll give them a call. Any useful input is appreciated! I want to make sure this is the right choice and I'll be happy with it for a long time before I dump a bunch of money on the kit as my IX is my DD. Also, this car will never see a track, just twisty back roads and the freeway.

    Here is the kit: http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=902/CA=8

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I have GC coilover on my 88. Call them, good guys there. Mark is the guy for IX specific stuff.
    I went with their camber/caster plates as well and 2.25 coils on all 4 corners with koni top adjust more like this kit (not exactly)
    The "kit" doesn't have a default spring rate that I know of, they will recommend you based off of what you tell them your intended driving style/car purpose is.
    Pictures of the install on my car. I went with 500/650 and ultimately a 1" taller spring in the rear than what the 'normal' is, I've got snow to drive through afterall.

    long and short, just call them, tell them what you want to do, how you want to use the car and they'll hook you up.

      I'm sorry Steve, I don't see an email from you.

      I've done three IXs personally and they do very well with standard Konis and the kit. The trick is not to dump the car excessively or you'll be replacing half shafts regularly.

      Here's a pic of my most recent project...

      We don't like to quote rates as a standard. We prefer talking to the customer, and customizing the rates to their personal taste.
