Ground Control coilovers are next..

Even though im' looking to sell my car, I cant stand sitting stock height. So since I gave my old springs to Bdiddy, I need some new ones. I was looking at buying some Neuspeeds again, but then a friend of mine with a CL was looking to get rid of the coilovers he had on his. $100. So I was sure, I ll take em. I'm gonna get em put on Friday. I've vaguely heard of Ground Control, anybody have any reviews or opinions on them?

they are probably rattling because you are dropped too low on too short of springs...the spring is not preloaded because the perch is too low...just switch out the springs for longer ones

ground control coilovers are probably the best sleeve you can get..comes with eibach ers springs..the are nice =)

a high majority of the honda club racers use ground control so that should tell you something

The perch is rattling around the shock because there are no o-ings between the perch and the strut body.

that must be it. plus he does have it low enough to ever so slightly tuck some 17s. it sits right on top of 'em
