GC or springs install
I currently have a set of GCs and an SPC rear camber kit. I am tired of waiting on struts and I don't want to spend $550 on Koni's right now. I am faced with 2 choices... I will probably add struts later in the summer/fall.
a) install GC (set ~2in drop) + SPC rear camber
b) trade GC for springs w/ ~2in drop + install SPC
both options are with stock struts...
I have searched and read many threads about the pros and cons of GC with stock struts, and from what I have gathered springs + stock struts are safer (better ride quality and longer stock strut life expectancy) than GCs with stock struts.
Feel free to post pros and cons... thanks for your opinions...

i say you get springs now and then later in the summer/fall get h&r cup kit or tein basic.
should come out to a similar price to gc+konis or even tokicos if they come out.

I am tempted to buy the Neuspeed Race springs... I am not sure about rubbing though. 215/45/R17 that is the main concern. If there will be problems, it looks like it will be eithr Neuspeed Sport or Goldlines.
