Are you changing to the TEIN camber plates? If not, you will probably need a different GC hat for the Teins. If you are switching, I call dibbs on you GC plates.
You may want to ask if the skid pad behind the drag strip start line is available for use for a little setup work over the weekend. double adjustables are quite a bit of work to setup initailly.

My goal is to make it out to RFR on Friday. I got a call into Jeremey to see if I can get him to add a Friday open practice for the SCCA event. Apparently I'm the 3rd guy to call the track about it, so it's pretty likely it'll happen.
I agree about the spring rates, the rears seem a little soft compared to the front, especially since I'm planning on still running w/ the very soft rear swaybar. I think the Tein's use "standard" 2.5" ID springs, in which case, I can use my existing set of Eibach springs on 'em. I'd like to run 550/550 or 450/550.
I think the top nuts on the Teins will be too small for the GC topmounts. However, I should be able to get some bushings from Ground Control to match the Teins, as long as the Teins are bigger than the Konis (which are huge). So for this weekend, I'll just be running the Tein pillowballs, but I expect to switch back to the GC's if at all possible.
If I can't get the GC topmounts to work w/ the Teins, I'll be rebuilding my blown Koni's then selling them w/ the GC topmounts as a full kit, since they're actually a pretty nice setup if you don't need double-adjustability. So, I probably won't be looking to sell the GC topmounts seperately.
As far as double adjustable initial setup, you're right. It's not trivial by any stretch. However, one of the great things about Teins, is that they set them up at the factory to their recommended specs.
So, not only do they provide you with recommended starting specs on their website, they actually dial 'em into the struts for you.
My guess is that it'll be too low though... take a look at that picture afterall!
