I have a used set of BC Racing BR-Type coilovers for sale. The set was removed about 3 weeks ago before my '8 Solstice GXP was traded in. It has about 10k miles and it's clean and in a great shape (the car hibernated in winters). The spring rates were custom ordered so they are only 25-33% stiffer than stock rates. This allows a stock-like ride when the dampers are in softer settings.

I also have a Werks Racing rear subframe brace, a Covercraft custom-sized folding sunshade, and a Kappa Shield wind breaker for sale. Please send me a PM if interested in any of them.

I found these on Craigslist and just posted them on the BB.  $150 Prokit, never used.

These too, though some don't recommend cutting OEM springs. $50 bucks for 4 OEM struts and cut OEM springs

FYI-
The kappasphere springs are nothing more than cut OEM springs.

The Kappasphere springs and the Eibach springs were both exactly the same as stock springs with 1 coil cut off.

At least it was all in one post this time, right Kelu?

That's strange, here are a set of (front and back) Kappasphere springs, looks like the same amount of coils as the OEM springs!

Kappa OEM Springs:

[Sol Asylum]

Count the coils, looks to me like the bottom pic has 8 top has 7.

[Gentleman Jack]

They are not quite facing the same direction so the coil count is difficult. But yes, the bottom picture has one more loop.

Yeah, only one click on ignore button, not 5

   I've got these on my car and am very pleased with them they lowered the car about an inch and a half and still maintained a decent ride

Some good information in the following thread

Looks like it's less then 1/4 of a coil shorter.....

POS VETT, sent you a PM about the coilovers. You still have them? Will they work on a Sky?

These are excellent and allow adjustment of shock stiffness as well as height up and down.  Someone should jump on these!
(FWIW I use these on my Solstice)

That's why I'm asking.

Someone did
And they have been installed on my sky for a while now
 
Sorry Helios

[Helios]

Oh. Ok. I might need different spring rates anyway.
