How much do the GC coilovers retail for? There was a guy (Manny, are you here?) with a 4th Gen at the Autogear meet w/ them and they looked great. Lower than my car w/ the Eib/Tok combo. Of course my 225/50/16 tires also increase the gap somewhat.

NE1 know how these compare with the Cattmann coilovers?

As far as price goes, the Cattmans can be had for around $1400 shipped. Height wise, the rears can be brought down to the point where the top of the tire can't be seen, and the front can be dropped to where chewing gum and cigarette butts get caught on the jack point... although neither of these is a recommended driving setup

If you get GC's and if you get Koni's at the same time, it's pretty decent with the right spring rates. Cattman coilovers are smoother and more controlled, at least in Barry Chafin's exquisitely setup Maxima with 380lb custom Eibach ERS springs in the front.

Shucks! I didn't remember that you had 'em. Your car looks about as low as mine but I s'pose you could go lower, right?

The fronts can go lower, not the backs. I originally could go lower in the back because I had the spacer in the wrong place (no difference in ride quality but not the way it was designed)

I might be a drop lower than your eibachs.
