J, there is a guy selling a GC setup. Here's the link. I'm not sure what "kit" it is exactly, but I know what I bought was $400.

 

I guess nobody seemed to read my post about the H&R coilovers

lets recap:

1. They are reasonably priced for FULL coil-overs ($1195 from Tirerack or GoFastlab)
2. They are made by H&R (shocks made by bilstein for H&R) and carry a lifetime warranty
3. They keep the OEM style remote resorvoir design in the rear
4. Spring rates are 345lbs = stiffer then stock, but not too stiff for street use ( and don't tell me thats too soft for track, because there are tons of owners here saying 'oh just go to the track stock because the stock setup is awesome' and it is, but if the stock setup is ok for the track how can a setup with higher spring rates be TOO soft? )
5. they offer complete height adjustability
6. have gotten good reviews on the board and in SCC magazine when they were on the Vortech S2000
7. H&R has a very good US presence and can repair or replace parts

Mine should be on my doorstep tonight. I'll take pics later.

I guess I should qualify what I said. If you want to go fast at the track, those spring rates are too soft. Furthermore, anybody that has said that the stock setup is awesome, isn't going fast at the track.

I wasn't pointing fingers at you specifically man:-) I have heard similair things all over the forums. You make sense, if you are going to the track to do timed laps and want the MOST of the car and you have the talent to do so, then the spring rates are probably too soft.

But if you are going to a FATT, or just preformance driving class then you are fine. Plus, if you drive on the street 99% of the time you want something comfortable yet a little more sporty then stock (at least most do).

Pete(Ol' Yeller ) said the I needed more spring after watching the car circle the track. And that was with 380's. But for the street, 380's are not too stiff... for me. Nor is the Invidia unsilenced too loud for me and my +1.

 

I'm only 1.5 miles from work. I try not to go over 4k RPM during my morning or evening commute to help compensate for the short drive. Then on weekends or if I go for a drive on a nice day, after it's warm, I'll let 'er rip.
