                      Coil overs are over priced, the price per performance isn't good enough IMO. I get amazing handling out of my H&R races and bilstein sports and paid less than half the price of GC's. If I had nothing else to buy for my car I would considering getting a set or a good deal on some used ones.

                        I love my gc set up with m3 sway links attached imo the shocks you choose to go with are a big expense in the suspension overhaul

                          No they aren't overpriced, you seem to lack understanding and experience on what constitutes a well-handling suspension.

                          Not to say your choice isn't good for what you want it to do, but H&R race springs are hardly god's gift to god's chariot.

                            I completely agree. I had that same setup on my first E30 and I loved it. It handled really well and was definitely more affordable. However, I'm a stance snob now and you just can't slam an E30 on springs. Lol.

                              Comparably in price, I agree with him. Why do you think Spec E30 runs H&R with Bilstein? Because it's way more affordable and works just as well for what they're doing.

                                It really feels to me that you gain more "looks" then performance.

                                You mad bro? Just said price per performance isn't very balanced. My suspension handles great and I hand selected and installed every component.

                                Am I a suspension engineer? No
                                Are you a suspension engineer? No
                                Does my car handle good? Yes
                                Better than yours? Who cares
                                As good as yours? Probably

                                Seriously though 1500 dollars? I doubt GC are 1200 dollars better than H&R Race
