you can get the flta2's shipped for under 1500 if you look hard.

I have them, and love them. I track my car a lot, and it was easily the most worthwhile improvement to my suspension. I haven't heard of a single FLT-A2 owner that wasn't 100% satisfied. I will tell you that they are quite punishing on the street. With the dampers set on anything but full soft, your kidneys and back receive quite a pounding. I think this will be true for any setup with a spring rate in excess of about 5-6kgmm (~250-300lbs)

I would also recommend not buying used coilovers unless you can visually inspect them yourself in person for flaws or defects. If coilovers aren't taken care of properly, they wear out very fast. A set with only 5K miles could easily be on the verge of blowing out. Plenty of people do it, but it's risky, and you get no warranty.


If you plan to race your car is SCCA, what class/series? Improved Touring doesn't allow coilovers. Matter of fact, I don't know of a single SCCA series that the 240 fits in, that allows coilovers.
