Just waiting on the payment links to be sent that way and I'll be opening a GB. I was hoping to get them emailed my way over the weekend, but apparently they've been pretty busy, haha.

edit: Forgot to mention, thanks for the kind words Rev!

So is it just the Race and Ultra Lite's, or can we do the Steet Sports as well?

Also, I'm a noob when it comes to coilover/springs/struts... what kind of tweaks is everyone doing to these? I know tilt got the spring sizes altered...

I don't know if I should be ordering them altered or if I should just be getting them "stock"

We're going to be doing 200mm front and rear length for optimal stroke. Stance has issues with spring length but Powertrix has addressed the issue.

This weekend everyone, I promise!

Forgot to mention, 9k/6k will be the rates. Rates and lengths can be customized but this is far from necessary. These will handle/ride great with the "stock" settings.

200 is kinda short IMO

Any chance of getting custom rates?

You can choose custom rates/lengths no problem.

FWIW, Stance was doing 150mm, then switched to 175mm. 200mm fits the bill well IMO, but you can get larger if you'd prefer.

I'm going to be needing the names & email addresses of those looking to GB to make sure they get the GB pricing. I don't have time now, but I will be sending out PM's later today, but if you happen to read this first and are interested feel free to PM me!

Otherwise, I believe we are good to go

edit: Almost forgot, this is my current ride height ->

Glad to see the switch to 9k/6k and 200mm! This will be a good set up.
