Re: coilovers?

Many members have been running them in conjunction with Koni inserts. Do a search.

You do need to modify a set of stock strut housings to accommodate these, and running them without Koni inserts is not recommended.

Re: coilovers?

I found the spring rate combination to be a bit odd.

Nothin' against the vendor, but I'd rather order a custom rate setup from GC straight.

(EDIT: Just like I did already!)

Lol, That's mean!

Don't cut your springs, if you don't know what you're doing you could put your self at risk.

Re: coilovers?

Do it the right way the first time, or do it twice. GC/Koni, or <insert intermediate step>, then GC/Koni. (Hint: one of those choices is cheaper!)

Re: coilovers?

Cutting a sagging stock spring from a 17 year old car is probably a bad idea. It may be cheap and effective but since there's not much control I just see this resulting in bottoming out and such.
