Iceracer might... he's in Quebec I think.
So would anyone recommend the ksport/d2 setup for a strictly Auto-x/track car? Should I get a different spring rate since my car is about 400-500 lbs lighter than stock? I'm running r-comps on stock suspension and got up on two wheels last week so I think it's about time I get a proper suspension set-up w/ camber plates.
How about 4 bolt performance strut mounts to go with coil overs? My gs has 4 bolt instead of 3 bolt strut mount? Any ideas guys?

Cusco makes them for the front IIRC.. Corksport sells them. They are fully adjustable for chamber and what not... but any performance coilovers ie ksport, will have a kit. They only kits out there that don't have the mounts are not worth buying.. such as dropzone and the like.
I have heard and know a guy that worked for a rather prestigous racing outfit and gave me some inside knowledge on coil-overs. So, here it goes there is only one company in the u.s that makes the basic coilovers and they manufacture them for a wide array of companys. D2 coilovers are the same as the following with the exception of color and pricing: ksport control pro, apexi n1, buddy club spec, megan racing, and tein basic. Its all the same package the only real differences is quality control and spring rates. He told me that there was a company that shock dynoed packages and said that these ones were essentially garbage. The valving could be at halfway on one and be at full soft and be a quarter and be full hard on another so making real suspension tuning difficult. The harsh reality to get a truely good set is get a set actually custom valved and spend about 1200-2k on a custom set specific to your vehicle. Ksport does this service and quality is really good if you do it this way and you get something custom tailored to your taste and needs. Ground controls are great but are limited to the capability of the strut. Hence further modification is required to use a better unit that is adjustable such as an agx, or illumina. So to purchase these units say $125 each = $500 plus a $350-$400 set of ground controls equals $850-900 plus shipping or risk quality with the aforementioned brands for $850-$1200 or just get a custom set. As I have learned in building/working on cars cheaper always bites you in the a--.
