Renamazazo is an unknown quantity at this point
so then if you went ahead and purchased those shocks, what kind of springs would you get to compliment them?

If I did get them, then it would be an admission that my car was becoming a track *****. and nothing but the best spring would do.....

Ground control adjustibles, with custom spring rates dependant on if I feel like having my fillings vibrated out of my head. Probably some where in the 550 Front and 900 Rear... Just enough to make driving on the street really uncomfortable. or if I feel like keeping my teeth, maybe something like 425-450 on the front and 550 on the rear.....


It would take some time to tune, so I'd probably go throug a couple of sets of springs to find one of my likeing.

You'd be suprised as to how many race cars and teams use sleeved coils. Especially with I.T. cars. and Ground control race products are guaranteed for life.

and they would let me corner weight the car....

quote from their site.
Here are the guarantee limitations from Ground Control for race cars:
NONE! It is guaranteed for life. If we say it for a race car, then it is for a race car. We don't care if you race it, it is guaranteed not to fail with racing abuse. Springs, hardware, upper perches. Obviously, don't try to wreck it on purpose, but these parts are built for racing.

Well, if you need to back it off a little bit... Spoon Adjustables are only $2750.
Height and Damper adjustable, but no remote reservoirs.

Yeah... but the springs on the EP aren't the same length. So what is a 1.5" drop on an EP isn't a 1.5" drop on an EM. It'll be more like 1.2/1.6.
The reason we can use EP coilovers is because you can adjust them to make it look right.
