Looks like crap! It should have the proper clearance like Omid's rear suspension.

Nice writeup...what springs are those? Did you get to select your spring rates?

I don't know, but they are not eibach ers ones that GC uses. I think you can choose the rates if you want but his standard was 350/225 which was fine for me.

I got the same kit. It handles like a monster now (just took it to MADS and had a great time) but it's a bit of a handful on bumpy city streets. Once you get on the highway or a track though, it's heaven.

I am thinking about purching that set-up. How is it for everyday street driving. Can you set it soft enough for a comfortable ride on longer trips.
By the way Scott how much did it cost in CND funds to ship it to your door.

Thanks Kerry

Kerry : depends on your road. In new york city, the ride goes bumpity bumpity BOOM bumpity bumpity bumpity BOOM, etc. On nice roads and highways, it's sweet (as mentioned above) driving on a road that's been scraped in prep for putting down new pavement sucks *** though

I drove a round trip from new york to danville VA and back for mads (like 500 miles each way) this weekend and didn't have any complaints except for potholed ciry driving. Overall I'm happy with the kit, and the guys at k2rd are very helpful on the phone. Paul says he's got the rear pillow ***** redy to go too. I should have waited, ohwell. But I had my kit for MADS, so I'm happy. Plus I'm gonna find that 300zx that is in my local autox ASP category and tear him a new one this season. muahahahaaha

it cost me $20usd to ship to blaine USA(3 mins below the border), then I drove down and picked them up. it cost me what ever the exchange was the day I bought the money order. 1.61 or .62 or something... then paid tax when you cross the border. it would cost a decent amount more to ship across the border to you.
