No worries, thanks for the help! I am sure my kit will cost a lot more than yours, unless they need to sponsor a middle of the road wanna be race car driver like myself

Easy for you to say Tommy T. When Justin and Les install theirs, and I hear their review after some track time, only then would I consider purchasing GC kit. I hope that GC is monitoring this thread, if they aren't, they should be.

I spoke with Donovan on the phone this afternoon. There's more coming and it will be up and ready for purchase next week. He asked for a detailed description of how I use my car. What modifications it has. Weight, sway bars, bushings, aero, etc. The type of tracks I race at. Technical, high speed, bumpy, predominately left or right turns, etc. Tires and sizes. Let's see what he recommends!

He's going to recommend you go faster Actually he is sending me several springs to try, I'll keep you posted on the results of the testing....LOL on a side note he's already had a bunch of phone calls and even more emails. Just so everyone knows, Donovan is out of the office until Monday, so if you don't get a response until early next week that is why. Also since everything is official I or Tommy can answer any questions you may have.

So, how soon are you going to start testing? I admit to being ready to jump the gun before we have real world data.

The soonest it will be will next weekend, but that weekend will all be baseline testing. The other springs he's sending are heavier and the fronts are shorter. I'll be testing all different spring combinations. I wouldn't wait if I were you Les, from what I tested with Tommy's car and his track shakedown, I'm confident you will love the kit. If you do decide to go heavier in the future the springs themselves are pretty cheap.

Ok, so where can we find details on the kits, spring rates, adjustment info, etc.?

The prices are VERY reasonable, thanks for everyone's efforts!

I was told next week when the rest of the parts are available. They wanted to show prices on what was ready to give us an idea of the cost.

On the race kit the front springs are 1200 and the rear is 800. I'm not sure what the rates on the sport kit are.
