        ya and our order numbers followed in sequence, but even though your order number was one before mine, i got the struts before you did

          good adjustable coilovers.

            For dual duty (street/track) the ZX2 struts and MX3 H&R springs make a great combo, while still too soft for "serious" competition, they work very well for both street and track. Thats what i was using for awhile, i have now upgraded to the "serious" stuff and it's NOT for the street, unless you like being in paint shaker.

            If you wanna take it to stage 2, then the ZX2 struts with a Ground Control coilover sleeve kit would be it. 250# front springs and 200# rear springs. You seem to be eager to get semi serious about autox, don't get the coilovers if your just gonna slam the car, of course thats fine for street driving or whatever, but at the track raise em up to near stock height or untill the A-arms (LCAs) are as flat as possible.

              Based on that, then the zx2 struts and h&r springs will suit me perfectly. Im not a good enough driver to be into the "serious" stuff quite yet. I don't really plan on slamming my car down really low, so I think Ill just get the H&R's for now until im ready for some real coilovers!! More seat time...... You wouldnt want to sell your old setup would you?? Even tho I bet youve been asked that 1000 times I thought Id give it a try. Thanks

                1001 ...nope sorry. As of now i am looking for a new car and a new house and if funds run low i may have to get a used car....and it may just be a 323 to facilitate my life, as i have near enough parts to build one

                  lol. 323's are sweet, i wanna get a junker and turn it into a rally car, or pure track car. What kind of racing do you do? I assume your into Autox from reading your sig. You do any Solo I trials or anything?? After I get my 4 Solo II events that is required to compete in Solo I Trials, I plan on running in that. We got a kick ass track (second creek) down here.

                    Mainly just Solo2 for now. I have been on a road course a few times, but for the most part, just Solo2. Once i get a rollbar i may get to more track days.

                              tire rack should have the springs... if they don't it something new wtihin the last 4 years.
                              in my personal experience i would have to reccomend H&R springs... i don't have any experiece with eibachs but i do konw that H&R makes a smooth street quality ride as well as being good for autocross. very nice and comfortable

                                Well, the Eibachs are softer than the H&R's which would make them more comfy for a daily driven car. If you choose comfort over performance, then the Eibachs will most likely be better...

                                while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height
