Why would you need a $500 titanium arm or true coil-overs? The motons and Penskes are threaded bodies...you can use them as either. That said, I have never, ever seen a set of penske 8100's or 8300's for sale in our classifieds.

i was planning to run the lock out kit to not worry about screwing up the alignment in the rear or stripping the washer in the kits. i know some people dont have issues but also some people do, i prefer to avoid any dumb small stuff like that hence either true coilovers or the spl titanium mid link, plus i was highly considering solid mounts for everything but that would limit me to spl components it seems, havnt seen any of the other ones with solid mounting points.

i do intend to track this thing hard when i get back stateside hopefully soon if my reclass paperwork goes through, not that i dont like hawaii.

actually looks like the spl midlinks are 700 lol i coulda swore i saw em 500 somewhere but guess im insane *shrug*

This is true.
I love my GR+'s but they're all for show.

very true...

OP don't buy Megan I've seen many stand the test of time, but same amount blow...Stance is of a better quality contrary to what others believe due to brand biasesness <---not a real word.

I found my Motons used, good coilovers come up from time to time. If you stick to what SPL sells on their website , you will be good.
