Post anyone use globalwest coil-over kits?

I was just wondering as to what the quality of these were? are they comparable to a good set of coil-overs like what ground control offers, or even LGM?

What kind of spring rates should I specify?(I know GW uses extremely high rates)

Most consider them better than ground control, they are not rod ended like the LG units.

You can buy springs from Ground Control for less though, so you may want to do that.

What would you like to do with the car and what other parts have you already put on the car? That would help us to recommend a spring rate for you.

The car is mainly a street driver, but I'd like to do some autocross(maybe in SM) or maybe eventually some open road course racing if possible.
