Bump for suspension guru's.

Remember that you have to pay to play.... Buy a quality set of control arms and rods and you should be good to go. Keep on the look out for partouts ect.

Forget about passing on the camber correction bits (FUCAS/RUCAS, Adj. tension rods) unless you prefer to spend that money and more on tires and worn out front suspension. Contact Charles at Powertrix and see about a package deal for the parts you will need.
Charles is a GREAT guy and will work with you to get you what you need at the best price...they may be past their coilover group buy period right now (but maybe not...only a call will tell, and they do make extras) which saves a good deal of $, plus Charles offers a package of everything needed for further reductions when bought together...and there you go! :dblthumb:

DCaff nailed it on the head. Talk to Charles and he will set you up with a good deal on what you need to lower your car properly. I'm personally a fan of SPL but I also understand that others don't want to spend that much on the footwork of their car ie. $2000+ just on components not including coils. Call Charles, you will be very happy you did. And if you can find a few more people he may be able to work out a price drop for you all

Just saw that Powertrix is right now running their final coilover group buy at the low prices they've had for the GB's over the past 10 years.
$799 for street, $969 for race, and I think about $1100 for the ultralites, plus Charles will give GB pricing for ALL suspension bits you will need or might want, such as spring upgrades or sway bars.
Do it now, or forever wish you had...
