Default CGT Coilovers Any info?

I'm sick of the squatting look on my coupe, as well as rubbing the rear tires. Thinking coilovers, but can't seem to find anything for the rear. Anyone know of a working setup?

Default Boge TG's and Eibachs fixed the squatty look on my CGT

easier and cheaper than coilovers.

Coilovers won't help the rubbing tire issue, unless you raise the car up. But Brad is right, stiffer shocks and new springs will do the same thing cheaper.

Default I have the 2bennett coilovers...

with koni's .After hearing of rubbing issues I went to these with stiffer springs in the back, They are right, stiffer springs on your car would be cheaper but I found that most of the cost is the shock itself
BTW I have never rubbed even with both my kids in the back, If you go this way I will be happy to get the #'s off the springs I used.

Default I've got Eibach pro kits in right now, and the rears just aren't cutting it

I'd love the part #s of your springs. I've already got Konis in the rear, but as they're oil filled, the springs will still load up under weight. How do you like the 2bennett coilovers? I heard someone say they weren't too happy with them.

Default 2B coilovers are nice, I've got them too.

Very happy with them thus far.

I will get the #s later today, But I was just thinking , doesn't the 2b kit come with the rears assembled? Call them to see. If so, and you do not want to buy new shocks I have a friend that actually made his own sleeves to install over his old shocks for alot less, do not know if he would do it again but might be an option.
