honestly i wouldn't have paid to have these springs put on the car but since the previous owner did it, im really starting to appreciate it. it dosent body roll around the twisties as much as some other cars i've riden in.

Another G-C user here.. Nothing like having the freedom to drop it exactly where you want it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

G2 Super Springs (More Pics In Sig, and Damn those Z06 wheels above look awesome, might have to invest in a set myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> )

the Hotckis springs (IMO) lower the car nicely but not the point where its a PITA to drive..

It doesn't matter what springs you get in my opinion. To me they all basiclly work and look the same. You might notice a quarter inch lower here and a quarter inch higher there, but they all look the same to me. I don't think anyone here walks around with a ruler. I can't tell what springs a person has just by looking at the car or riding in it either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> If I were to change my springs to one of the other brands, I probably wouldn't notice a difference. I bought the G2 springs because they are located 10 minutes from my job and they had them in stock. I've had them on the car for 2 years with no problems, and they make the car look even better. Pics are in my album! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Check my sig for pics...

I have the Apex coils. They are about double the cost of all the other coils at retail but in my opinion its well worth it. The drop is about a little bit lower (barely noticable) than the Eibach sportlines. The ride is great. I had the Eibach pro kit which felt really sloppy compared to these and I had the Intrax 2" kit which eventually wore unevenly.

The look of the car sitting with these coils is absolutly awesome. The tires slightly tuck up front and the gap in the rear is enough for two of my fingers to slide in. I really havent noticed any damage to my cars launch which everyone said was gonna happen...

I highly recommend this set to anyone in the nmarket for a great set of coils

I like the idea of the air bag setup. It would be cool if you were just chillin with it sitting low next to you. I'd say the rims and the body kit gotta go though. How does it ride going down the street? Any decrease handling wise? How much did that airbag system cost you? I think it would look sick with some American Racing TTIIs. I think I'm going to go with the G2 springs. Josh99Ta's car looks sick. Every time I see that pic it makes me want to buy them.

I work so hard on that car just to free up the cash to do the small things, and it makes it worthwhile when others see what I see in it. I appreciate it man. Good luck on yours, lowering it was right up there with the single best mod I've done next to the hood, but even with the hood and stock height something just wasn't right, it's "almost" perfect now though (just gotta get some wheels).
