Thumbs up Grount Control Coilovers and Koni Yellows

I am thinking about getting a set of Ground Control coilovers and Koni Yellows. My intention is to autocross the car 8-10 times a year, but I don't want to spend $2K or more on "real" coilovers at this time. I am primarily interested in reducing the wheel gap, which can be done via the GC coilovers. I believe the ride quality (and auto-x handling) is slightly better with this setup than stock.

Any feedback?

Dude, didn't you ask this question in Racing and Competition a month or two ago?

If you are going to auto-x 8-10 times a year I would suspect you are fairly serious about the competition. If you lower your car, you are bumped out of stock class... in other words, you'll not have a prayer to win SM2 or BSP...

If you are doing it just for looks, then yeah, this combo should work great.

I am already in SM2...

Do you really think an S2000 cannot win in SM2 or BSP?

Well, that is one of the biggest benefits I have heard about the GCs--you can change out your springs (with different spring rates) at any given time.
