Ok, I'm trying to be a cheep ass and put together my
own kit from Ground Control.  I'll save $125 over 2B
by doing it.  Here's what I think I know mostly from
Nate's install.

The 4kq kit will work on the 90q if you order two sets
of the rear hardware since the 90q struts are the same
diameter on all 4 corners vs the 4kq having slightly
smaller front struts, right?

The spring lengths should be the same right?  Ground
control guessed 8" of the top of their head.

Finally, what spring rates are people running? Is a
progressive rate springs rated 280 front and 240 rear
pretty standard?  I do live in CO so I can't have it
too stiff, but also have a heavy rear-end due to the
battery and stereo in the trunk.  I'd say it's an
extra 100 lbs over normal.

Thanks,
