bulls**t. the springs are visually the same for both V6 and I4, which means they will literally fit. What differs from both engines models are spring rates, nothing more.

Ground Controls are garbage, save your money and go with a regular spring/strut setup. GC's are poorly manufactured. If you can really afford them, JIC Magic would be an option.

flipside is absolutely right. the spring ratio will kill your back because they are so stiff. justin also told me that B+G might be making another true coilover setup for gen 3s :grin:

And that's just another way of saying all coilovers *sleeves* are POS. :smile:

What do the majics go for??

I wanted to get GC's because I was told that the threads are good enough to use them in the winter....I want more than a 1" drop and I dont want Intrax springs..

Argh!!!
