Are the GCs really that cheap?  Don't  ya' need the camber plates and other
stuff for a complete installation?  I'd be curious to see a full itemized list.

I bought a set of Hypercos in the original deal.  The thing that swayed me
was all the problems with coil overs.  From all the messages here,
(regarding duct tape, silicone, and all kinds of hacks to make them fit
correctly) it sounds like they are a noisy clunky PITA regardless of the
tricks used.  Much like an after-market exhaust  ;)  I wanted a zero
maintenance, zero hassle, zero extra noise setup for a daily driver.

Yup, Agreed!  HyperCoils got their money - it wasn't a charity job - but
"blows goats" is sorta extreme (though I am a big Wayne's World fan)
