dang do want..and im local

Exactly my point:thud: There is nothing unethical about the laws of supply and demand. The wheels are relatively rare considering they were only a few thousand brembo cars sold and only a small fraction of those ppl sell them, where as you can get the black track pack wheels from pretty much...

looks sick. I really need some damn coil-overs!

Stop putting in in N down hills, that actually requires fuel where as leaving it in gear will not use any fuel at all oh yeah, and get a hybrid, ninny

This. A lot of internet folklore on the subject but almost 0 evidence/first hand experience. And only a few of the kits have a true rear coil (fortune auto, griggs, cortex, etc). The GC, KW, BC, HR, etc kits all use an adjustable rear perch in the stock spring location

Precisely why most engineers are terrible sales guys lulz

I own one as well, its marketed as "dark stainless" by ford, sorry for using the brushed reference. Regardless of what its labeled, doesnt change the fact the are relatively rare in the aftermarket and therefore can demand a higher price than the black versions. Good luck with the sale, I was...

Those are "remanufactured" not brand new from any ford dealer/distributer. And yes they are painted, but its simulated "brushed stainless"..its not just your standard silver spray. And I was just trying to help your sale from the lowballers who neglect color when comparing prices to the black...

Very different considering the brembo only wheels in the brushed stainless finish are only sold as crash parts and have an MSRP of $840 each...with the best price online in the $525 per wheel range and used/refurbed wheels going for $300+ each

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the GC CC plates too..I guess its the "custom" konis and assembly that puts the complete kit priced $300 more.

:clap: Guess what, I'm a mechanical engineer too and can tell you are the type of engineer who tries to make simple things sound much more complex than they really are. :roflmao:

Unfortunately when it comes to suspension and stiffness/comfort, its really a wide range of what is acceptable and what is not. There are some guys on the other forum who complain about the stock brembo suspension being too stiff, but to me it felt like a big marshmallow.

Just so you dont gather (assume) any more from my posts, I'm no spring chicken when it comes to the track. I have about 25 track days under my belt (a handfull in an evo and the rest on 600CC sport bikes, running in the advanced group when I gave it up), so I will be pushing the car hard when it...

Thank you chim chim and jymontoya, just the real world type of information I was looking for. Also your experience with the cortex kit highlights the usefullness of ride height adjusment beyond just corner balancing. Being able to shift rear/front grip without swaping springs is definately a...

No offense man, bu do you have any personal experience with this design and did you even read that thread? Pretty much everyone in the thread who ran the full coil, said it had been a non-issue and they were just boxing it in as a precaution, not because they had deformed it in the past. The...
