so are those Eibach springs interchangeable front to back? Can i run the 400 in front and 350 in back? also, what condition are the GC sleeves in, how much mileage on the suspension? are the springs progressive or linear?
condition of brakes (calipers, rotors, pads, etc..), mileage?
I'm sorry I didn't copy everyone else's setup. If you need a preacher to tell you what mods to put on your car, the Reverend Veilside180sx might have a suggestion.
yes you can put the 400's in the front or the back, the only restriction you may run into is how low you want to set your ride height. the car was a 2.5 inch drop from stock but i had much stiffer and shorter springs in the car. but i'm pretty sure you wioll be able to go more than 1.5 inchews lower with what ever spring placement you want to run. the sleeves are in really good shape and all the collers turn and the bolts arn't seized. the kit is off a race car and i don't know exact mileage but i'd have to say under 4000. as for the brakes, not sure on mileage, but i only took them off my car because i put willwoods on, but i had no problerms with them, the rotors have no lip on them and little wear, the pads are less then half used, and the calipers don't leak and they ahve been sandblasted to optimize heat disapation.
here is a link to some pics, there are alot of pics in the post of other stuff too, also when i took the pics the calipers were painted black, so they are much cleaner

u want the 8" springs in the front, and the 7" springs in the back. that's how it's suppose to be, with the taller sleaves on front and shorter sleeves on back. u CAN switch them around, but if u ever decide to raise it up, it will not be level, as the front springs are taller than the rears. ask me how i know. previous owner put shorter sleeves and springs on front of car, and taller ones on back. when i raised car, back raised up fine, but fronts barely went up, because of the shorter sleeves and springs. just wanted to let u know that...

yea, that's what I figured, as the front has more weight. I still want the 400 lbs spring rate in the front mainly because I don't want a twitch happy, sudden oversteering car on the street. I'll definitely not leave the car at stock height, just a mild drop, but it seems as if I'll have to lower the car approximately 1/2 an inch lower in the rear if my logic serves me right. Since I'll be running shortened Koni's all around(8610 Spec-V inserts), can you see any downfalls to this? A 2 inch drop all around will have me lowering the rear 2.5 inches. the last thing I want is to lower it and run out of spring travel, I'm trying to go the other way completely, with a stiffly sprung, well dampered street car with great handling.
