Interested, yes.. Possible? no.
the rear suspension design on our cars prevent us from getting coilovers at any decent price.
but if they were to make it for $1200, I'd definitely be interested.
then again, what Brian was saying if I read it correctly) was that the 3rd gen system would be $1200 MORE than the 4th gen system..
a pair of camber plates is about $500 for good ones, correct? Well in order for a 3rd gen system to be designed correctly, you'd need a set for front and rear. that's $1000 in camber plates alone. THEN you have to worry about $500 in shocks, and another $500 in springs.. Then add a couple hundred for perches and custom work to get things to fit, and you're well into the $2000 range, if not over $3000 after labor and design costs.

If your willing to spend that much money why not just go out and buy two sets of springs/struts. That way you can have your drop in the summer and not as much in the winter. Just keep the spring/strut assembly together and switch them out.

But what about the weekends when you want to run the car at the track, then you turn around and have to haul a carload full of luggage/children. or if it's raining on the day you're going to the autocross... need more suspension travel. THAT'S what coilovers are for.. they're constantly adjustable for a different ride and different handling. just jack the car up, and twist the spring perch a few times and you're set.
if you just had 2 sets of struts and springs (and Intrax are NOT good for track springs!), you'd only have 2 settings, and you would still have to spend an afternoon switching things over each and every time you wanted a different ride.
