Coilover conversion kits

[Whiskey11]

Yeah I am looking at buying the full kit. My car gets daily driven and I just can't justify the cost for AST's (as badly as I want them). So the GC kit for $1600 should do just fine for my needs.

It definitely will. They are the cheapest coilovers I'd consider worth a damn. Good dampers, good springs and good camber plates. It simply works well. No regrets on my purchase at all.

Not to mention...the only AST's anyone is getting right now are used.

^Not to worry, I'm starting to see a lot of MCS decals where AST decals used to be on national-level autocross cars. There's always another bandwagon to hop onto.

I bought a set of Koni sports converted with the GC kit from a forum member on here last year. I'll be installing them in the next few weeks. I'll post up my initial thoughts after a good alignment and test drive. I normally wouldn't have gone with a set up like this but the price was right and my car sees very little autox time.

I'd be very interested in a set of Bilsteins come Winter.

What sring rates are you running? And are you running the 8" or 10" rear spring?

Started off with 440x8"/200x10" and thought it was an overall good setup that favored street more than autocross. Good enough ride that my father didn't notice that I went significantly stiffer than stock but firm enough to keep the front end working right.

I wanted a little more compromise towards autocross and jumped up to 550x7"/275x8" and don't regret the move. Still tolerable on the street and will definitely be an improvement in autocross. I wont get to test them in autocross until this weekend though.
