Can't decide on what to do!
 
I'm in the market for new springs and struts for my RS, and I can't decide what to do. I'm trying to balance my suspension between a nice daily driven ride and an improved ability at the track.

At first I was set on using GC coilover conversion with either KYBs or Konis. Then I was going to get the Prodrive P1 suspension kit, but the outragious price of the V5/6 struts ended that idea real quick. I really like the few cars I've ridden in with P1 springs so I was going to substitute the V5/6 struts with Konis, stick with the P1s, and use Cusco front camber plates with Sti hardened strut tops. THEN I found a set of Leda gas coilovers for sale for $1,500 and that is damn tempting.

Can anyone please help me out. I need to do something soon!

Tim- which Ledas? There's more than one, and one SECCS member previously had a set. SkiMonkey30, hopefully he'll chime in on tham.

I think they are the B Gas Coilovers. I found out that they can be had new for $200 more than this guy's asking for them though.

With a little modding you can put V7's on.

I went ahead and got P1 springs and Koni Sports. The deciding factor was when I called Alex Performance in New York and he quoted me $595 shipped for the struts. That was by far the best price I found. Ebay, Boxer4racing, and Tirerack were all around $670 plus shipping.
