I ordered a set of coil overs from Paradise racing. They sent me the wrong spring rates and cut the sleaves which I asked them not to. These are the same coil overs that they did the Group buy for on this forum. These are worth jumping on if your local to me (Vancouver area) as I got them on special for 130us, they're now going for 150us. My totaly cost was 215 cdn though once exchange, shipping to canada, tax and all that bs. Not really worth it to anyone who would need them shipped as you'd be paying for shipping twice and it would probably cost you the same just to order them directly from Paradise even at the more expensive price.
They're 350lb springs with the cut sleaves (which means no welding necesary to install, see the GB thread on them for directions). If no one jumps on them by monday I'll just send them back to Paradise and have them send me what I ordered. Figured I'd give a local and Paradise a break by offering them here first.

k...are these just the front springs/sleeves, or do rear springs come too?
Also, how much lower can you get the car without removing the stock bottom perch?

how much do you want for them??
and what is the downside of having the sleeve precut? just not as much adjustability? How long would the sleeve be if it wasnt precut vs precut?
EDIT: nevermind, i just answered my own question :)

The coil over gb thread should have all the info on these you'll need.
I'm pretty sure you can lower the car with the cut sleeves well below streetable form, I just have access to a welder so I'd rather ditch the stock perches.
Yes these are just the front sleeves and springs. The gb pricing for these was 175us I belive, I paid 130us, they're currently 150us. 350lbs was the min rate offered in the orignial gb.
Aaron, if you want these, I'll trade you straight across for my old ETs. We each pay shipping for the stuff we got already, no cash trade at all. Sound good?

hmmm... ill get back to you on that =)
350lbs is stiffer than stock Im guessing... what would putting these in the front do for handleing with stock rear springs?

well I'd wait till you get rears, or cut your rears when you put them on. You'll need new performance shocks all the way around too to keep them inline. 350 is alot stiffer then stock, but should be still quite streetable. Most people in the gb got the 350s I belive.
