Me and several others on here have the GC set and think it's worth it. But not a single member that I know of that has gotten the S2 set. Not sure why though, I'm sure their comparable. Anyways, I'm sure someone will post soon that you'll just need to buy a full coilover set soon; but as we all know, search and read up before making any purchase decision.

I would personally reccomend tein.... Not that those arent good in any way, shape or form.... but tein is a well known, respected brand... And IMHO, thats the way to go , well when i buy my coilovers thats where im headed

Dosent GC use eibach springs?

You do know that your shocks will be gone in a few months after putting these on. I would reccomend saving up for a REAL coilover setup and not the coilover sleeves on stock shocks. I went with tein springs and my shocks are gone, I should have got real coilovers.

RRM can hook you up with the parts necessary to make them fit on your ES, as I recall. Give them a call or PM when you get a chance.

well after a very informative phone call to RRM a couple of days back.. i decided to be the first on here to get the Skunk2s.. i was told as long as i dont drop my ES past 1.5 inches i shouldnt have to worry about my shocks nor struts going out.. the KYB shocks and struts that RRM has for the ES will prolly come soon after..

btw.. i have decided to improve my handling before torque.. sicily has some ghetto *** curves with no guardrails..

meanwhile im still waiting on my A2 pulley..
