    Advise needed.

    I am currently running the eibach pro kit in my car, with billy sports. They were in the car when i bought it. i dont know how many miles are on them. it cant be that many becase they are relatively clean, a light swipe of the finger mad them look new. should i:

    A) run GC sleeves on them -> 400 bucks

    B) Complete GC kit -> 1300 ish

    C) rebuild then gc sleeves -> i dont even know + 400

    D) hr race springs -> 300 or so?

    C)new billys sports then add the sleves later on 900+- and over time?

    I want low and a little bit of forward rake. would like it to be about equally stiff if not a tad tighter and run 16x8 -10 offset with only a minor fender pull in the front, hopefully none in the rear.
    I have a early IS

    thanks in advance.

          If money is not an object, just buy the whole GC kit and be done with it. What's your specific reason for wanting something other than what you have on the car right now? Stiffer rates, lower?

                agreeing with Philo here, if money isnt an issue, which seems not to be, just go with the full
                coil system, much more versatility on both height and stiffness.

                    keep your billy's put the gc coil kit with 6-700ish springs in back, and 450-500 springs in front, you can choose spring rates when you order, $400 and your done
