I.Mannix and myself have been talking about his setup, because I'm 
planning to run them also. The company I want to buy from is called 
Ground Control. The kit requires you to modify your strut housing and 
your rear shocks to accept a smaller 2" (2.5"?) spring. There is a 
threaded section with a collar on it that can go up or down. The setup 
for an A-1 suspension is like $399 for all 4 corners. This is not for 
the shocks, housings or upper mounts/bearings! The only reason I can 
think ANYONE would run these is for racing or if you wanted to LIFT yer 
ride. (MONSTER RABBIT! You could run 33" tires- BOSS!) If you're looking 
for your car to be a little lower, it prolly be a better idea to pick up 
some drop springs- your wallet will thank you!
