    WTB: V5 RA/Type R suspension or similar, for MY01 RS GM6.
    Now that http://www.jdmpartstx.com/ has folded I'm not having any luck locating these parts. Used is ok if in decent condition.

    Alternately I've been trying to source a pair of front struts (Bilstein) to match the Prodrive WR Sport suspension I have, one of my struts is damaged. Rather not pay $1500 for a whole set used. No luck at Prodrive/Cosworth.

    Any leads or ideas?

    I would talk to Garage Tuning. I got some V5 pink suspension from them a year or so ago, when they brought a container in. It might be worth a shot at getting some new stuff.

    Good call. Trading emails with Kevin about some mystery STi struts he had laying around. Guess I could try matching something like that with the Eibachs from the WR kit. From their website it doesn't look like they're importing/parting any cars right now, and they haven't been active on RS25 since January or so. We'll see what happens. Thx!
    Still hoping for a local solution if this doesn't work out.

    Funny! I was all over that site the last two days and didn't see the pdf catalog. Still, $1k just for the struts, another $500 or so for the springs and I could get that set of Prodrive WR's anyways. btw, what's w/ A/C or w/o A/C mean, I assume they're not talking about air-conditioning :ugh:
