Re: spax 60mm for sale

["George Turner, Jr." <george@dxnet.com>]

I really like my coil overs Chris.  they are a good bang for the dollar, but I am going to change them.  I just was looking into the koni/ground control set up, but when I would mention it to most *real* shops (for lack of a better term for shops who actually race and autocross) they all suggested to go with h& r coil overs.  the h&r's come with tender springs and a 400lb frt, 285lb rear spring rate.  This may seem like a lot, but h&r values their (bilstein) shocks differently. They change the rebound on them so the wheel does not push back soo fast and hard.  list on the H&R's are like $1800, but I have a spot that sells them for 1182.20 plus tax ($1243).  If you email me privately, I can give you the name and number (sorry guys).  After having coil overs, riding in other coiled cars, and doing a little research, for under 1500 I would most deff go with the h&r set up.  Koni makes a set up that cost $2250 that is the bomb, but you have to weld the hardware to the shock body..8(  the h&r have bilstein components on them, and come with something like a standard 1 year warranty, but after talking to the guys at h&r, they said they have NEVER not warranted any shock problem they have had. (he was basically telling me even if it was over 1 year, still send it in and they will hook you up)
