It's interesting that you say Capital Steering quoted you large $ for Gabriels (Not that I'd use them)...I'm wondering just how much they quoted you, as they are going to do a quote for my car, using Kings progressive rate lowering coils and Konis from (I think) an Audi.
So, I'll be interested to get an idea of what a reasonable quote should be for a "good" setup...Bearing in mind that I priced TRD adjustables for mine at $300+ per corner...Plus $80 in freight to get them here etc etc.
