Torn between the ISC and GC coilover systems. It sounds like you have to send off your struts to be mod by ISC, which is kind of a pain. But at the same time that should make it almost full proof. Also I wasn't sure if the GC system excepted blistens, which I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with. They didn't have it listed in the item description, but they did in this drop down box.

REspeed camber plates *on special now*also to go up top, though I was considering ISC's camber plates.

One more thing what all does the GC system come with, just the perch and threaded sleeve correct, no springs, correct?

Just don't want to blow money on a head ache. I've read a few peoples comments on this stuff. And either way people seem happy with it, but I guess no one ever has had both, so its impossible to compare.

Danke.

The reason you send off to ISC is to make the front struts actually fit with the larger shocks diameter. The best shock that can fit into the original struts are Koni reds they can handle up to 400 lb front springs, GC will not allow bigger shocks without this mod either.

Are you thinking that they will be out well before spring? I was hoping to have everything sorted out before then.

hold off on the camber plates too maybe. iirc, respeed's tweaking the design because of some feedback they recieved on bolt placement and whatnot
