GC vs RE Rear Articulating Spring Adjuster

[oceansize]

I was all set to order some GC rear articulating spring adjusters (weight jacks) and then I see this video from kaiv.

Have things improved or should I go with the RE version which is slightly more expensive?

Or none

I thought that might end up being the answer.

I have the RE ones and they’re well made. It always drove me nuts how the springs sit on the regular threaded adjusters for coil-overs and these are basically a reinforcement and perch in one. They hold the spring nicely and don’t make any noise after 7 years of use. The only thing I dislike about them with is that the treaded part seems too long and if where to lower them almost all the way the edge of threaded shaft would contact the axle which sits below. Maybe I could get a shorter rear spring to solve that, I don’t have my car slammed so I’m fine but if you like to tuck in the rear these might not be for you.

Happy with my RE perches and the (like the GCs too) reinforcement is nice peace of mind. They make corner balancing a breeze. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

That would be my biggest concern. Mine regular adjusters are pretty chewed and you can hear metal to metal sound from the rear even with some rubber washer I put there. However, l can not even imagine putting those cones in there as it will raise the car so much, but shorter springs will make suspension travel in there nonexistent, which is not good
