Default Scored some coilover for the GS.

Scored me a set of set of SC430 Zeal coil over for the GS. Second mod for this car. Taking another route with this GS. Might use my old air setup with cup kit. Bought it from a mature older gentlemen, which I don't think he beat his car like the younger guys do. $400 was the banging price.

I really don't know the spring rate on these. Could be from what the company send them out with. but the GS is lighter due to the SC430 has added weight from the drop top, so I hope it rides better then Megan's.

but reading up on the sc430 guys they run/fit GS suspension, and its to soft for them.

The bracket been put on the back burner. Dam work keeping me busy since they are short on staff.

They should fit, considering gs and sc have compatible suspension. You just need to worry about spring rates like you mentioned..

definitely let us know if it's a direct bolt-on...know a guy selling SC430 coils right now for the cheap, wouldn't mind jumping on them if they mount right up.

The front struts are shorter in the sc but the hats and lower brackets are the same that is why you had no issues with fitting them. The rear top hats are shorter in the sc than in the GS. Good luck with fitting it.

rides is firm but its a nice ride compare to having the Megan's that's made for the 2gs.
