As far as pricing, I'm not 100% certain. I'll be sure to let you guys know. Like I said though, I'm still going to judge the quality on these coils before supporting any sort of GB. I don't want to be spreading any sort of low quality products among fellow 8 owners! Review soon to come...
For now, though:

Not yet installed, but Check out some pics. These may look familiar to many, though with slight differences
From the factory, these came with 9k/6k springs rates (200mm/175mm lengths, respectively). I opted to go with a 10k/7k setup (200mm/200mm lengths).
All four lined up!

Thanks for the input guys ![Icon Tup](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/icon_tup.gif)
As far as pricing - I don't think it will be any lower than those on the first page. Even at that, those are my estimates, I will need to clarify. Compare these coilovers with others in the price range($800-1200) and it's soon apparent these are a bit of a step up. For reference, the standard pricing on these coils is $995, $1199, and $1499 respectively. This GB pricing will only be if we can get ~10 people to commit with either a 50% deposit or payment in full. I'll have more details when I green light it so stay tuned!
Anyways, some stuff came up and I wasn't able to get them installed - looks like I'll be waiting until next weekend before having them on the car.

Maybe, just maybe it will work! Best of luck ![Icon Tup](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/icon_tup.gif)
Ah, sorry for no update everyone, I've just been slammed with work lately. I should get these on within the next couple of weeks, as well as some new wheels. I'll be posting a thread in the gallery section and cross-linking it here, so keep an eye out

As others have mentioned, Stance GR+. Well, the price differs greatly, that's one difference, haha.
9k - these will be open to order with any spring rate/length desired (note my set was 10k/7k, 200mm front and rear)
