The only think I think is different is the front camber plates

Call GC. They will take care of you. If you're looking to go low, get your struts shortened. Mine are shortened and I have them spun all the way up and it is still rather low. My spring rates are 450f 700r and they seem good.

But, seriously...call GC and ask them.

i just talked to them and they said to shorten the struts.. was not looking forward to spending this much cash for my side car lol. are those spring rates stiff enough??

the camber plates are different. If you are going to track get the race plates. Also, I had my set shortened by 2" by them. You would have to send them your stock housings for them to do this for you,if not, its $600 more than the price listed. Other than that, I am extremely happy.
Overall, The touring plates are sooooo much easier to adjust and are awesome for street!!!!

I don't bottom out at all. The PO got them for track and auto-x applications mainly.

Edit: Also, I edited my previous post. Should be 700r, not 600...

I wouldn't choose a rear spring rate more than 150% of what the front is. Sometimes if the difference is greater than 150%, the car will see-saw through corners. Keep that in mind.

If you request, GC can make a kit for you to shorten your own struts.

The price is the same if you shorten your own struts

Instructions are made based on your requests, and sent with the kit. If you have a good friend with a MIG welder, then it might only cost you some beer.

I just went through a similar process with ground control. There an awesome company. If you just call them they'll set you up for what you needs are and how much you want to spend. The prices on there are just a guideline. Make sure you get the top adjustable shocks in the back... I run 450f/750r with 22,19 sways, it works great. I talked to Jay

Another 1+ for calling them, they will help you with spring rates and get you setup for your needs.
