Wow looks like Billy does it again! I'm going to have to buy more stuff from him right away here.

I wonder what springs need to be used with this kit?

they seem jsut like regular coilover style. so im guessing the eibach, swift, isc racing springs, g-force, mazdatrix or watever coil over springs will work. its just finding the right hight of the springs u want.

Hey guys, yes these are for 2.5" ID coil over springs. I would suggest 6" or 7" long. 6" for the higher spring rates. You should really check your setup though.

These are our "Street / Race" setup. They sit on top of the stock perch. No welding needed. Bolt on and go.

The pure "Race" kit will be out in a few days. just waiting on a laser quote to come in. This kit will require cutting the old perch off and welding a new one on.

If someone wants to start a thread in the GB Interest section for these we can see what happens. I can go a little off the retail if we get enough guys.

Happy Holidays,
-billy

I'd recommend shox.com, they have good prices for eibach coilover springs.

I just sent a PM to Billy about it. I'll get the info together for the GB or Coilover/Camber Plate package deal and set it up. I'm waiting to hear back from him now.

I'm interested in these for sure. One thing that confuses me is why the weld on version is cheaper than the "street" version. According to the parts list the weld on version has more pieces... Not that I'm complaining, as thats the one I'm interested in Wish I had more cash, i wanna buy the camber plates while they are still on sale....

Spoken like a true addict...

Yes, REspeed rocks. Their products are very innovative. I hope very much that they are hear to stay. I know how hard it can be for a small buisness to stay afloat.

Good luck guys!

and yes, they solved my problems..........once again
