Spring rates are 340 and 380, I still havent made up my mind whether to use the 380's up front or out back.

I should have my wheels back by tommorow, once I have them, I will throw them on the car, and get new round of pics.

The GC's where $399, the koni's where $580. I figured its either $1000 mininum for a coilover system, or go with a reputable shock manufacturer and a reputable spring manufacturer along with GC. I dont plan to autox or anything, so it was about finding a system that would allow me the flexibility to adjust the ride height as well as dampening.

Install was pretty simple for the fronts, about 30 minutes each, hardest part was drilling out the two bushings on each top hat. THe rears are a pain, with the fuel line on the left side, its a very tight space. I would say about 1.5 hours for each rear shock. Once they are on, they are very easy to adjust, you dont even have to take the wheel off, just make sure the car, or better, the wheels are off the ground. Then its just a turn of the collar.
