I friggin LOVEd the way the spec C stuff handled. I still haven't found a set up that I like quite as much and I think I've tried 4. LOL!
Think next it will be koni/rce. That will probably do the trick for me.
I like the low look but I like correct suspension geometry and being able to smash gravel and snow better. haaa. I spend way to much time off tarmac to be as low as you guys. Wish I could do it. Maybe when I move to suburbia.

u can smash in snow still, just get more speed going... lol.. i agree with slug in the sense that i bought mine second hand because i couldnt justify to myself or fiance that 2k+ suspension is what we need.. maybe if you're in the track scene all the time but with mine being daily for a lil longer 2k + could go other places.. towards my geometry maybe? lol .. also if you put them on the softest setting its really not that much different than the stock suspension.. i like em but to each his own..
To be honest I want coils so I can run 18x9 with a proper +45 offset and beefy 255 tires with very little wheel gap, no rubbing and the right amount of camber. I could get RCE T0 with a 400/350 spring rate for about $1700 or so but I don't know if that's stiff enough to not rub with wide tires.
I'm a sucker for fat rubber. Eventually I want to be able run 265 tires without too much camber.

Yeah you caught me. I was driving to Drakes to pick up the rain guards. One of them broke when he was taking it off so we epoxied it back together.
