The advice above is valid, if the GT4 has a range of decent shocks and springs available without the need for fitment of height adjustable coil-overs then don't worry about it.

My car has height adjustable coil-overs because no springs were available in the rate needed, the spring perch rubbed on the tyre (car came with 12" wheels standard), the strut tube was being shortened and it was going to cost 1/10th of stuff all to get a threaded sleeve attached to the strut given what needed to be done anyway.

I have adjusted my setup a total of about 5 times for various reasons, I will be trying a different spring rate shortly too which will be a simple process given the current setup.

I have purchased "custom" wound srpings in the past for non-automotive use and was less than impressed with the consistency in sping rates. For the intended use I had for them it meant they were useless. Also the inherent characteristic of a spring seemed to be somewhat lacking with a few items Rolling Eyes


YGTO4A, looking at the components you are talking about I am going to guess you have been out to see Chris at Inline? He did the work on my car and did a good job.
