Default Where to buy GCs and shocks?

So then I've decided to get some new suspension. I want some GCs and read somewhere on here that someone is getting a new set of them for $280 shipped. Also where's a good site to get Koni Yellows/Whites?

TIA.

shox.com is good for shocks. I got my GC's off groupbuycenter.com. Only the GC Limited Edition versions are that cheap, and they don't fit on Koni shocks. You can get regular GC's for around 325 though. I believe all my stuff was around 900 bucks, not including the camber kit.

Thanks for the reply. What's the difference between the GC limited and non-limited edition? Spring rates or what? THanks.

They made the Limited Edition ones for the 2 very common cars they were selling for: Civic and Integra. So they just make more GC's for these cars and sell them with the "Limited Edition" tag line at a cheaper price.

As for the spring rates, they're the same, but I'm pretty sure that you can't send them away to get the spring rates changed if you ever wanted to. So for most people, that's really not a problem.

So they're exactly the same, but with a little sticker that says "Limited Edition" but with a cheaper price on the "Limited Edition" version?

I said the difference was that the Limited Edition ones won't fit on certain shocks, such as Koni, and that you can't customize the spring rates.

I got mine on gbc, couldn't be happier with the quality. The gc normal spring rates are softer than H&R's and skunk2's->(by far), so if you looking for an H&R type stiffness, then you'll have to get a custom spring rate, just call the dealre and talk to them about getting custom spring rates. The only reason I mentioned this is cuz, I wish I had a gotten a little stiffer spring rate. I even have kyb agx's on the stiffest setting and I scrape too much, but then again you might not be going as low as I am. Thought I'd atleast mention that.
