I have gotten to know the guys from GSC a bit and for what its worth they are pretty happy with them. 32 way adjustment, quality close to as good as Buddy Club, aluminum body, rebuildable in the US, adjustable camber fronts and something about the shock adjusts ride height by moving the lower arm rather than move the shock? I think I got that right....FYI.

I don't know why someone hasn't jumped on this offer. I would, but that would mean sleeping in the basement for the winter!
Lastly...For all those who believe that you have to buy a suspension setup that costs 10% of the vehicles cost new....Eat it. Show some solid proof that Megan coilovers are outperformed by Ohlins' on an autocross course that a 3x higher cost is justified. -Gabe

My point (again) is, save your money and buy professionally set-up pieces for your car that will make large performance gains.
Once again, SAVE YOUR MONEY! Spend it on gas, insurance, going to a track day, your GF, your family.
oh and I think your post was stupid as well ;-)

When I sold the DSM back in 2002, I could only get $8000 while the same year GSX was going for over $11000...
Same damm car, but a whopping difference in price. All I can say is the new owner of my old DSM got one hell of a deal.

Another option thats just barely above this price range is Tanabe coil-overs. Check out boostbuddy.com, Nate will give you a good price on the megans or tanabe
