Default adj rear spring perch?

i just ordered HAl Qa1 front coilover f series street kit and rear 12 way adj shocks.

Only problem is that they dont make matching rear spings to go with the the kit. Which spring would go well with the 12 ways. Front end will be adjusted for a 2 inch drop and i want the rear to match as well. Im thinking of getting adj spring perches for the rear. I just Couldn't find them on GC's website, how much are they running for these days?

let me clarify my question, what springs would drop the rear 2 inches that match the qa1 12 way shocks?

Or who does LG or Ground control sell the rear adjustable spring seats (perches) separately? and for how much?

I am soliciting them from Motorsport Dynamics, but still waiting on a call-back from their distributor. I just sent a second PM now to GC, but never received a response on my first inquiry. Send Sam Strano a PM on his discussion board.

Like pulling teeth! Grrrrrrr

I called up GC before about just getting the rear set of coilovers and they said they only sell a complete kit for all 4 corners.

I got mine thru Sam Strano, but ended up dealing direct w/3rd party.

Strange! Call Strano's and ask for Arlyn (r-lyn) or Sam, and ask them, but GC can be a PITA to deal with directly from what I understand.

I ordered and paid for the whole "adjustable ride height" kit. Four months later they called me to ask if I still wanted it.
