i measured things up and the springs are very close to the eibach springs in the g/c setup, but that is going to be too hard a spring rate for a rear wheel drive car so i'm going to tinker with the cantilever ratio to soften it up slightly.
i'll sell the gc setup, but i'm keeping the fronts.

here is the beginning of the rear suspension.
