For a regular dude, making regular wages, the listed $1780 for a TEIN flex kit for a GC chassis is a *lot* of money for something that's not a *need* !

Jonny, whatever you end up doing/needing, just let me know dude! You know I'm all about helping out the club! I can hook up alignments for dirt cheap, put in camber bolts, whatever!
Dude it's all about the 575M now. Get with the program.

Jonny, are you going to swap out the suspension or keep the P1s and Konis?

Just my opinion. Roll the fenders and remove the interference rather than trying to work around it for a street car. Alignment should be for handling, not tire clearance.
Interesting. Goes to show how much I know about the GC's

I dunno, it would be kind of a bitch adjusting the Koni's in the rear, but then again I don't autocross or anything (well not yet). The settings on the Koni's seem good right now, nice drivability and ride while it still can corner good, although I haven't cornered hard at all yet. The P1s give the car a real nice stance. I dunno, once I roll thar fenders I'll decide.
