I don't think I've ever seen an adjustable perch for an OEM sized spring... they're all for 2.5" springs, which is what the Eibachs that come with the GC kit have.

Don't forget, you should be able...

I know it seems like I must have oodles of spare time. But it's really not that hard to take a legitimate 10 minute break when you work from 9am to midnight, 6 days a week.

What's with all the people proud to find out they're homophobes? That's not a test to see if you prefer people of the same sex, it's a test to see if you think gay=bad or gay=good!

Stiff springs and matching dampers in a GC setup will ride very harshly... that's exactly what's on my car. My point about going the GC/AGX route is that you can specify the rates to be exactly the...

Damper adjustment isn't really for "harder or softer ride". It's for modifying how the spring is controlled for handling purposes. Because the spring is a fixed rate, you're making the car more or...
