I'm upgrading to PBM myself here in a few months.

What's your spring rates?

And that face can work on a black GS with a chrome lip.

What is it that they do for you?
Would also like to know price range, spring rates, and distributors?

please advise

standard in-stock KG is now 18/12, same as our drift spec coilovers. you will really enjoy these.
