Praise the lowered!
So I got my GC/WRX setup installed yesterday......
And it's great.
315 F/250 R progressive springs, 9inch/8inch. WRX struts and hats. Koni race bumpstops. No camber issues. With a sight alignment, it tracks beuatifully, which is a testament to the shop who put them in (S-Squared here in Sacramento). No creaks, rattles, booms, anything. It rides better than it did with stock OB suspension, and handling is unbelievably improved. It's about a 3 inch drop, to about a 1 finger gap in back and 2 in the front; I'll even it out in a weekor so after the springs do any settling they're gonna do.
As for the shop, Nate did an incredible job. The GC's look like they were a part of the struts from the beginning, and his assessment for spring rates was spot-on, as I couldn't imagine a better compromise between ride and handling. Take your car there now, for anything you need done.
I'm serious.

Agreed!
I bought a few things from them and Nate was nothing but helpful and friendly.
S-Squared is on its way to being the premiere Suby shop in Sacramento.
Oh, and Scott, GET BACK TO WORK!

well, GC's were $400, I picked up some WRX struts on here for $75 with hats, and there were some other little things like the bumpstops and stuff, steering rack bushings I did at the same time, etc. I didn't break out all the prices, I just wrote a check, but it was *very* reasonable 
Give nate a call or PM/email, and he'll quote you specifically for your car and what you want to do it (there's different GC setups, etc)

Hey guys,
thanks to the good words Sybir and all
Pricing on this is going to vary based on the setup you are looking for, and what you would like me to do install wise.
There are a few different options as far as how we mount them on the struts ( IE if we trim the spring perch and weld rings for a better seat or not etc )
so if you are interested in a GC kit just email me at sales@ss-ms.com or pm me.
thanks!
