*****I bought a set of GC's back in '94 for my
cousin's SE-R. Back then, they supplied 225 front/200
rear springs. The car bottomed constantly with a 1"
drop. Blew out 3 full sets of struts. Also found the
springs themselves were bottoming (coil-binding).
Simply not enough travel for the weight of the car, at
least not with off-the-shelf coil-over springs, which
have notoriously close coil spacing. Your results may
vary!
