how hard is it to actually adjust them and stuff? like to find out where they work the best or whatever? ie: im a dumbass so how would i know what would be a good setting 
and how good would it work with the stock shocks cause i don't have enough cash for new shocks

wow...nice stuff! I'd love to be able to buy some of their products, but I have a few other things that I need first
Twitch (and others), My girlfriend's, sister's Boyfriend (I know, a mouth full) is one of the guys in charge of the sports car club that rents out Mission for their road race circuit. They also go to Seattle and Portland. He's really turned me on to this kind of stuff and I plan to attend some of their events this summer. It seems that some people on the site are going all out with their road racing set-ups, so I hope some of you guys can join me this summer for a few corners
I'm not sure how well those 4.30 gears are going to perform on the back straight though

They will work with stock shocks but I recomend doing the shocks first . More of a handling improvement and ground control is shock spacific . Here are the 93 up fbody part number / shock combos .
2510.01 ( stock and bilstein )
2510.02 ( koni )
2510.03 (Kyb )
2510.04 (kyb and agx )
So if you buy the Gc's for stock shocks it limits your choice down the line .
For adjustment , they use a threaded collar and a spanner wrench .
(front) You take the weight off the car , loosen off the colar with an allen key fitting and use the spanner wrench to spin them up or down .
On the rears you jack the car up so the rear stays down and just losen the allen key bolt and spin them by hand . The backs take about 15 minutes to do both sides . The fronts twice that .You dont have to remove the tires , just turn them outwards . . . . I got my head stuck between the tire and the fender really good once

The helmet must be Snell SA2000 or newer this year. Motorcycle "SM" helmets are not allowed for auto racing. A Bell Magnum IV open face (must wear some sort of eye protection too) costs about $325 including taxes at Jager's Safety Equipment.

I still don't understand what exactly this GP is offering 
....is it JUST the front and rear coil over set-up?
Payam: The safety requirement is pretty slack. Depending on your skill, your requirements will change. You and I would be in the first time group and therefore I think it is limited to your car passing tech and anyother things that Mission Street-legal nights require for a 13.99 sec car
