Anyone have an idea what the SA setup with out plates costs? That is with the GC housings front and rear, not WRX rear. 2005 STi too, thanks!

GC's site is pretty crap!

I was quoted the following on 09/25/07 so it may be out of date:

Quote:
Springs and adjusters(your choice of springs)...$399.00

Koni single adjustables...$159.00 each

Custom housings...$152.50 each

Front camber plates...$349.00

Rear camber plate...$299.00
(159 * 4) + (152.5 * 4) + 399 = $1645 before tax and shipping

Installed mine today - 95% done. Will write a FULL review once I get it all dialed in.
I'll be sure to post a link here.


Jesse

p.s. Install was a *****! Serious pain...makes doing a downpipe feel like a walk in the park.

You just call GC's number and ask for him hoping he's free at the time.

Hey Mark,

1) How do I get new spherical bearings for the GC plates, along with new O-rings for the seals for the Torrington bearings?

2) What do you use to lubricate the metal-metal contact between the upper spring perch and the plate's bearing carrier?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm sorry Mike, I didn't subscribe to this thread and just happened across it during a search.

You can get new bearings from Ground Control along with the other bits.

A very small amount of waterproof grease can be used between the cupwasher and the slider surfaces. Keep in mind, very little, just a thin film or it will act as a magnet for dirt.


Mark
subcribed now...

Hey Mark,

I know I bugged you about it when I was ordering, but I figured if I put it here we could try to generate some interest...ever considered selling something like this?

http://www.iwsti.com/forums/suspensi...me-advice.html

Figured it can't hurt to ask.


Jesse


p.s. getting the rear spring mounts cut off the housings, then I can re-adjust ride height and get everything dialed in. So far I'm loving every bit of it though! Full review to come soon.

I've had a few example/prototypes sent to me in the past Jesse. None of them impressed me.

I like sticking my hand in the black hole...

haha fair enough -- not even going to bother making a joke there.

Any chance you have a few extra adjustment knobs lying around then? That way when I reach down I have something to grab onto? Only need 2 extras, then I can use the original one for both fronts.

Which address, Pelham Or Elmhurst?
