Question Ground Control Coilovers?

Good? Bad?

How does their adjustability work?

They seem like a good deal, but I hear that they're not a "true" coilover setup. I was just wondering if folks had any advice one way or another. Thanks.

Not true because they don't come with a strut/ shock is my understanding...by time you buy the shocks/ struts, you could have bought just as good a set-up that is specifically designed to work together, ie: TEIN
They will work with stock shocks, but the extra bit of lowering you get out of coilovers vs springs will were out your stock set-up really quick!
My .02--I don't think it's a bad buy though, just not my style is all

i think tonyfresh has them? and you will probably want aftermarket shocks if you go real low w/ the ground controls.

tokico makes shocks for the TSX?

OK, so I've read that Ground Control coilovers are meant to work with stock, KYB, or Tokico shocks. But I don't think KYB and Tokico make shocks for the TSX (unless someone can prove me wrong--happens often).

I jus installed the Ground Control Coilovers... I am completely satisfied. the drop is nice and clean the way i like it. and I am planning to use my stock shock for a little bit longer. I dont think the shocks will ware out fast because i did not slam the car, just enough to close the "gap" between the wheels. The coilovers are good buy, it saves you money, does the job, and the ride is very good too.
