What did you you decide? Have you looked at "Swift Springs"

 

I was impressed w/ both the Buddy Clubs and KW's I test drove (not to mention some even higher end DA Teins mixed w/ a Comptech adj. swaybar). Out of these, I was leaning toward the KW's.

I'm now leaning more toward the Konis/GC for the following reasons:
- ability to fine-tune spring rates
- softer springs (am thinking 450f/380r after consultation w/ Dan @ GC) s/b easier to live w/ on street, but still quite an improvement on track
- lifetime warranty on Konis
- any prob. not covered by warranty, it's easy to just buy a single new shock. Not sure, but I doubt parts/support would be as good w/ most competing coilovers.
- I really don't want to lower my car much (if you joined one of our Hill Country drives, you'd understand), and won't have much opp. to fine-tune on a track, so KW's may be overkill for my needs
- Oh yeah, $800 cheaper!

Haven't heard about Swift springs, but not interested unless they're stiffer but same length as OEM (haven't found any that meet that criteria)
