They seem pretty good, they're around 700 for the set on the Godspeed website but $630 on Amazon.
Want to know from someone who has installed them on their 6gc or on another car (monoSS) Bounce vs stock Body Roll vs stock How much unavoidable potholes make you cringe when hitting them vs stock And build quality Thanks!:) |

they dont seem too bad quality for the price.
(only ST205 coilover came up on the site so thats what I am going off of) they are mono tube and the spring rates they have are kind of high so they will be fairly rough of a ride. youll want to avoid potholes. From the site it looks like they use 62mm ID springs which is really weird. The most common size is 60, 65mm and with TEIN using 70mm. If their spec is true this wont make it easy to change springs out since 62mm springs from my knowledge arent really easily found. -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

If they still haven't removed ST205 from their list they should be fired. I resolved that issue with them over a month ago.
they do make the mcpherson ones for sure. these im sure can be comparable to the Megan EZ street coiloverse.(due to price) This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Dec 14, 2015 - 2:32 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Alright thanks for the info, I think I'll just stick to my lowering springs and struts. They're pretty comfortable and then stiffen up into corners. I got the ST lowering springs and am very satisfied, just wish it dropped a bit more up front. They're supposed to drop 1.5-1.6 inches but it's only lowered about 1.2 up front and it's at the 1.6 in the back. Anyone know if removing the spring insulators is dangerous? If I remove the one on the top and bottom up front it should drop it almost perfectly where I need it

i don't think that's really going to make a difference in drop height. In regards to the upper and lower rubbers not sure if what the side effects are for our cars, all I know is I did it on a GSR because my friend didn't have them anymore but don't feel or hear a difference or any noise.

The insulators up front on the top are about 1/3" thick so I'm hoping removing them doesn't make the ride suck to much, I might try thinner insulators like the ones that just slide on |

I'd prefer top mount camber control, which is why I wouldn't consider Godspeed (tempting price, though ).
I'm still looking at either BC Racing or KSport Kontrol. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

They told me their is no welding for that model which is a lie because their picture shows otherwise. So they don't even know what their own R&D employees make/produces. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
