intrest in cheap coilovers for FD's

how many of you would be interested? I am almost done with the one I'm putting in my FD and I would consider selling them if I get at least 10 people that wants them. Fronts will be 450lbs springs and the rear at 350lbs. It will also have the top plate made of metal instead of the stock rubber/metal. Ground control sells the cheapest coilovers at $600. I'll sell mine at $300-$400

they won't come with shocks, you use your stock or whatever you have on now. The cheapest kit I found with shocks are the tanabe for $1200. They will be almost exactly like ground controls. If I get more people I will PM jason and we can get this rolling. Adj can be anywhere from -3"- +2". I'm still not sure since I haven't installed mine yet, but that's what it looks like holding it up to the shocks

it just depends on what you guys want me to sel them for. If you want me to use eibach I don't think the price will be $300. Probably more like $500. I am using areospeed for mine which is alot cheaper. I will contact jason as soon as I get more intrest, if I ever do

Remember when buying coilovers that do not have integrated shocks; that your shock must match your spring rate...

I'm using the same rate as ground control so I don't think there will be a problem.
