Came across this a few days ago:

http://www.i-m-racing.com/gpsporgfourd.html

I was wondering if anyone has tried them out. I'm looking at buying a suspension setup soon for the track (drift) and other than the common Tein and HKS setups, I found this as well. Just looking for opinions.

Also, is there any particular reason why whenever suspension is the topic, there's rarely any mention of Apexi and Tanabe setups? Or is it just a price thing?

the GP sports setup is a drift only setup, its far too stiff for most track use, or even street use...but it will do well for drift events, im sure.

you could use that kind of spring rate in circut racing, if you had the tires to hold that hind of spring rate...

the apex-i N-1 coils are for circut racing, and are valved for it...and cost a lot(I may be getting thses, or cusco zero-R2)

hope that helps.-chet

I have these coil overs they are extremely rough and not for the street. people do not like riding in my car anymore. if you want to have a street car dont buy these. They make jail a walk in the park.

Also you will be hard pressed to get a set due to GP SPorts North America being closed down for a while. Thier last order that was process about 4 months ago was a final shipment of thier product for a while. be careful when ordering GP sports stuff right now.

it also looks like like they are just useing the autoimaging site as a place to order from and then charge you a bit more
