What do you think about this kit

Weld-on Ground Control Front Coilover Kit for AE86 Corolla

http://www.technotoytuning.com/productdetail.php?p=571

$199 at T3 come with spring and top hat. I might go with this.

There are other cheaper coilover (less than $100) and the T3 top hat ($50)
But I dont know how good/bad they are.

I'm not sure if we can get discount if we do a group buy from T3 but at least we save shipping fee.

The camber plate I found is this one "Tein" Pass Racing has it on eBay

NonStopTuning has opened their shop for this meet. I'll be working on a date w/ NST so stay tuned.

No BBQ unless you bring pre-cooked BBQ. no cooking, just modding responsibilities.

i'll get w/ certain individuals for specific tools. let's not have a chaotic everyone bring whatever. this way there isn't 10 angle grinders & 5 sets of wrenches but no welder or pipe cutter.

Stay tuned for the date and other related announcements.

NST FTW

Those are great Pec, thats what I have. Best part about that kit is you can get whatever spring rate you want, plus they are Eibachs. Most of the other kits use cheap springs.

I talked to a John at the Ground Control office. he said that if Mike at N.S.T. could call him, he could set up a group buy with large discounts being made. Putting in my.02!

How many of you here would seriously be interested in picking up a set if there was a GB? I'm sure they would require more than one or two people.

Anyone?

that was very forward thinking of you jason!

find out what is the minimum number for a group buy to make the discount worthwhile.

looks like pecx is already on the list too!
