12/10 kg
NOT damper adjustable
double height adjustable (spring and shock height)

I almost bought these, but decided I needed adjustability. now I have JIC Magic FLT-A2s.

Thinking back to my choice though, I honestly don't know if the adjustability was worth the $400 premium that I paid for my JICs over the GP Sports, which should be going for about $1,200. (I would have gotten a reasonable deal)

If you want them that bad, dump your JIC and I can get them to you for less than that. They will beat the sh!t out of you though.

adey · 02-18-2003, 03:32 PM

Haha, I don't want them at all! I probably used too ambiguous language in the last post. I love my JICs, but the GP sports look nice.
Okay I'll come clean. my offer was 9XX for the GP sports.

I wasn't about to pay 1,100-- I just thought I'd try to save someone's business (or rather their profit margin). -- Anyone who sells the GP sports coilovers, that is... But there goes that!

i got them(gp coilovers) on my 91 coupe and the ride is ruff. but i don't mind cause i didn't buy them for ride comfort. I got mine from heavy throttle for 1275.00. I all so have the gp body kit and the spec d exhaust. all get stuff i've had body kits before and the gp sports is thin but from what i read that is a good thing so it flexs more and don't crack or brake. the exhaust sound real nice and deap but i have a sr20det so i don't know what it would sound like on a ka motor.

ruf · 02-18-2003, 03:54 PM

Sh!t I can't go that low. That's below my cost. I don't know who the heck is getting them at that price.

halyoder - please give us a more detailed review of the suspension. Thanks!

halyoder · 02-18-2003, 05:28 PM

i would give u a review of them but i have only drove my car 3 times since i put them on, cause of the weather. i have my wheels on so i don't what the salt to mess up the wheels, i would put the stock wheels on but they have no tred i burn the tred off them

I'd love to see some photos of your car, if you have any; It sounds really nice!
