Works great.

10 more should do.

Don't forget about Bilstiens, I'd run them any day of the week over KYBs.

Bilstein Sports with Eibach springs 400#/600# here.

If you want adjustables IM CRXLee in the Competition forum - he works for Koni and can give you good advice or even get custom valved ones made for you.

In his other thread, he specified, adjustable.

I agree with you, though.

Aren't you supposed to be working on a PHPBB site, or something?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yeah, stunnas who don't know how to properly set adjustable shocks always want them. lol

I've always wondered this, but is it possible to just get ERS springs with custom rate/length without going with the ground control sleeve? I don't need the height adjustability but always wanted something not too low but stiffer (aftermarket springs only come in lower==stiffer).. and will the ERS springs work on agx/bilstein/koni/whatever

The Eibachs can be purchased in 7" or 8" lengths (or more I think).

I used 7" springs on my car.

ERS springs work on anything as long as the internal diameter is correct. The adjustable perches are used to not only set ride height but are also used for cornerweighting purposes. You should consider height adjustability as a GOOD thing.

The Type R has some serious cross weight discrepancies that can be reduced with a good alignment and cornerweighting. This improves handling.

actually i wasn't discrediting height adjustability, but the actual physical design of the adjustment (ie. a threaded collar). My main concern is rusting (i'm from canada). Granted once things have been set to my liking then most likely they won't be re-adjusted. And where they heck is soup **** finding bilsteins for 275?

The GC stuff is all anodized aluminum. Just keep well lubed and oxidation/seizing should not be a problem. The GC setup is pretty good that way.

actually aaron i was selling them back about a year ago. even did a group buy. reason for letting most of them go for that low of a price was b/c of extra inventory.
