They are rare, but not impossible to acquire.

in UK coilovers are easy to get ... quite a few home and foreign suppliers (too many = confusion I have found)

All you need is :
1. Specify max load, spring rate, travel, fitted length max/min, damping ratio, rebound ratio, and with some manufacturers the end fittings top and bottom, if they deviate from common production cars over the last 25 years.
2. If end fittings aren't specifiable then you need to make up your own strong enough mounting points - awkward but not impossible.

Personally I would never put GC "coil overs" on my car. The only real choice is either FK or KW. I'd go with KW. They are about 1500. The only reason why you need coilovers is if you need to change ride height. If you just want a firmer setup then a cheaper alternative is just to buy a firmer spring.

When I first read that, I heard Yoda from Star Wars saying it. LOL!!!
