    Also the spring rates for a civic are different than for the e30.

        They do work. Mike is running "civic drift spec coils" on the pickup and they aren't all that bad. No doubt there are much better choices out there but for a cheap suspension setup they do work.

          a basic GC spring/adjuster kit is only $400. If you are cheap enough to use ebay brand stuff made for a completely different car, you probably aren't going to upgrade your shocks anyway. Why not just get the parts made to fit your car? Plus you have a choice of rates rather than some random shit made in china springs. I don't get it.

                      Yes but you're missing my point.. just get an e30 setup for that.

                      You could have ie3s and billy sports (or h&r race) for less.

                      Or be damn close to a GC setup

                              I realize its not coils, but I have them, as do many on here, and they are a good setup.
