I'll get a total with all the boots and thrust bearings, then post a price up and talk to Jeff about it all.

I'm trying to source some Eibachs, I can get them from mopac for $330 CAD or so.... but I'd have to wait up to 6 weeks they say, so I'm trying to find them elsewhere, might just end up getting em shipped from the US.

psituning has them for $300

Oops sorry.

I just talked to a friend who owns a shop. She said right now there is a sale from her supplier on Eibach springs. She said they are CHEAP. Might be possible to organize a GB through her. I can ask her for a ballpark figure on 10 orders?

Sounds good, can she get ground control coilovers?

How much for the complete package including shipping? (u.s.)

Just talked to my friend she says it would be $330CND for Eibach springs. But Maybe cheaper.

Any updates on the ZX2s?

Still waiting on my set here, should be in soon he quoted me 2 weeks - 2 weeks ago.... I'm not sure if I should do springs or ground controls....

And now I've discovered the full race ZX2 coilover set up, has anyone tried these?

Good news, I've found a source for the Eibach pro-kit for $285 CAD, thats a pretty damn good deal I've decided to go with this for myself, because it's what the struts are designed for so it makes the most sense...

I could probably put these kits together for somewhere in the neighborhood of around $600 CAD ~ $480 US + shipping which a ballpark figure would be say $40 CAD.

Kit would include so far:

ZX2 Tokico struts
Eibach prokit springs
Thrust Bearings
Front + Rear dustboots

I would rather have Canadians in the GB, because Americans can source this stuff for fairly cheap <unlike us> and may have to pay border fees if they were to be shipped from Canada so they shouldn't bother.

Sounds good man. Now we just need to get a line on some Camber Bolts.

I may be interested in this, just in time for summer!

You might have another Canadian on board if you can answer how reliable this combo is and how rough the ride is compared to stock? I live in Montreal, the roads here are THE worst. Is this suspension going to make my car feel like I'm driving a brick? Also, how much does it lower the car?
