    I actually have the 2B setup too.  I wanted the GC parts and to make a
kit for myself but they refused to sell me parts saying they hadn't any for
my car.  So I went with the 2Bennett stuff and I am pleased for the most
part.  The one gripe I have is the front threaded body is for the two piece
strut, which is bigger in diameter, and to center the threaded body on a
single piece strut they tell people to use duct tape.  Sure it has worked
fine, but for the price of the kit and just to finish it off as a sweet
install it would have been nice to have rubber or metal spacers included.
The rear coilovers for the FWD have nice spacers and make it a really slick
install.  For the two piece strut cars the install is interference, so talk
to Javad about that.  I am pleased, but the car is very stiff, 280/240 if I
remember correctly.  2Bennett likes to sell STIFF spring with the kit, if
you live in a bumpy area and are not ready for a very harsh ride go with a
little softer than what I have, but also remember your car is heftier than a
FWD like mine, Javad has the same rates as I do on a quat, so again give him
a buzz.

Cheers,
