    That's what I kinda thought, but he's basically the god of suspension setups.

    That is ridiculous it seems. Thought the difference in front/rear weren't supposed to be more than 15% cause it causes a teeter totter effect when turning.
    Mark runs 450/750 on his MT2 e30 vert. To compensate a little bit for the smaller engine and because I want to run a 5" spring since I wont be using camber plates, I decided to go with 425. The fact that 'verts are heavier in the rear and that I have an m42 puts me at around a 51/49 weight balance with me in the car.

    Money. That's what Mark at GC suggested for my budget. I wish I could afford the full coilovers but what I'm getting is already ripping my budget apart as it is.

    Working on the new subframe. Gonna be built up with new bushings. 12mm riser bushings, I got AKG offset CABs in the mail today, garagistic delrin shifter bushings ready to go in also. Gonna be getting GC coilovers, and basically every other suspension maintenance item (tie rods, control arms, all bushings, end links, etc.)
