Feeler: Full Koni / Ground Control setup
 
Full Koni/Ground Control coilover setup.
[LIST][*]Koni sport adjustable shocks (04+ rears) with D-REX extended travel spaces on the front[*]Ground Control coilover sleeves with two different sets of springs[LIST][*]2 x 8" 375lb front springs (0800.250.375)[*]2 x 9" 275lb rear springs (0900.250.275)[*]4 x 7" 400lb all-round springs (0700.250.400)[/LIST][*]Ground Control top-mount camber/caster plates[/LIST]
So that's everything except the rear top mounts. Between the different springs you can go from high clearance/firm through to seriously low and very firm.

I picked up this suspension while I waiting for RCE to finish development on its wagon springs. Works well but having decided to keep the car for at least another year I'm considering going back to a regular progressive spring/strut arrangement. I bought it from a guy parting out with the 400lb springs, and moved to the 375/275 setup for a little more compliance and added the camber plates. No track days or rally cross, though this should make a pretty good track day setup.

Approximately 30,000 miles on the struts, about 4,000 on the springs, camber plates. Drives very well, and is livable but definitely more sports car than GT.

I'm thinking $1,050 for the lot. Interested in hearing what people will offer though (lowballing aside).

wow, how's the ride height look on those 9" springs?

It's below stock, though there's not a lot of adjustment left in the sleeves to go any lower. The 9" aren't for the S-Tech crowd. Now the 7" springs, those give you enough to go seriously low if you feel like it.

Hmm, not too tempted. More to the point, the perches have been trimmed off the strut housings, so they'd only work with some similar arrangement.

04+ sedan rears?

04+ Wagon. Though that's just a camber advantage on a sedan :)

This would be an upgrade :) Noisier (welcome to coilovers and camber plates) but I think you might be happy with the handling. If you're interested PM me and we can discuss timings. If I sell these I'd ideally have a Koni/progressive springs setup ready to put on instead, but I haven't built that yet so we may be able to work something out on a timeline.
