Well, it seems the Ground Control coilovers i was gonna get were missing a few parts. The tool to turn them, plus the rubber bushing that apparently holds the spring in place. So i didnt get em. Went to the shop ,and got some Skunk2 coilovers instead. $300 installed. Which isnt bad I guess. They ride ok. I got em lowered 3inches all the way around right now. Im gonna have to raise em a little to put the 19's on when I go to the Acura meet next week. Thats about it.

 

$300 installed

dam thas a good deal Katana.........thas springs and shocks right?

 

My buddy has ground controls and they dont require a tool - you turn them by hand... maybe different on CLs tho

BTW - took the air ride in and they are ordering new air hoses since some were damaged and new bushings/fittings here and there... hopefully it will be all on in a week or so now

 

Sorry about the packaging man! Cant wait to see it on the car!

 

your in montana...we should meet up sometime

if i got these, what else would i need to get?

 

a mechanic...

 

would i use my stock struts or have to buy new ones?

 

Wassup Katana?
What did the $300 include?

 

It didnt include shocks. All the shocks i've checked into are over $200 at least. the 300 included the coilovers, all the hardware, and the installation. Still got stock shocks.

 

whoa!!! with a three inch drop? I guess it doesn't matter. you'll be rid of it soon right?

 

Where are you at?

 

spokane washington, not too far, maybe in the spring we can meet up

 

How does the ride feel?

 

not bad. like gliding over peanut butter.

 

^^^
You couldn't just not bad...could you?




How bad are the streets in Orlando?

 

hehe. streets arent really bad, a few potholes here and there, but all in all, pretty decent.

 

I wish the streets down south were good.

Why didn't you just get dropzone coilovers or neuspeeds?
I paid $185 for mine with installation. $300 sounds like a lot for just coilovers IMO.

 

hey eric, i noticed when i was up there 2 weeks ago driving around on I-drive there was slopes everywhere every single plaza, gas station, store, etc was like a ditch...my friends mom's stock TL almost scrapped (STOCK HEIGHT)

 

Must of felt like riding a high speed coaster with those slopes, huh?

 

we need some pics eric!

 

Sure. I ll give you guys some when the Acura meet here in Orlando happens next Sat the 13th.

 

That ain't good enough buddy, we need pics now

Flyer is on page 3 or 4 i believe

 

u think the skunk2 coilovers worth the buy?

thinking of getting that or saving much more for the Tein SS

 

I'd save for the ss's being that i've had skunk2's and the ride sucks.

 

It is a little worse than just having regular springs. Got a little more bounce to it. But then again, i'm not trying to pay 700 for some Teins either. If i sell the car, i can easily sell the springs. I just couldnt stand riding stock height, it was too weird for me.
