Not sure if it's going to make as much of a difference on an auto, however.
Watch the vid, the car noses up pretty hard initially and that's where I'm losing the most time. I wish they still made that setup, hell I wish I could of seen it I don't know much about the GC setup at all.

I did, and she squats a bit on the launch. But imagine that happening with every shift

Since Koni discontinued the rear shocks for the 1g I was forced to use the 2g's (only for the rears). It's virtually the same shock - the bottom bolts right up and you use the 1g rear top-hats to complete the assembly. The only factor is the shock is physically 2" shorter than the 1g rear, but this is not an issue if you are lowering with the GC's.

Overall, I could not be happier with this setup. The car is very flat when it needs to be, but the ride is still very good with no bouncing on normal pavement.
