ground controls?

I'm thinking about getting some ground control coilovers. What do you guys think of them? How is the ride? I already have koni yellows installed on my car.

rode on them for a little while and hated them. I'd stay away from those sleeve type coilovers (pretendaovers)

ah, if you have konis already their great.

i have teins now but i have no hate for the GC's...

the springs have nearly the same stiffness as those on the Teins...


on some decent shocks they will be nice.


just do something about the upper isolator... it falls down the springs because the spring isnt wide enough... your shop can do soemthing custom for ya real easy.


the best part about them is how easy they are too adjust... all other coilovers are a pain int he ass. it used to take me 5 minutes to adjust all 4 corners.

If Ground Control isn't the way to go, what do you think is the best way to go to control the lowering amount -- Teins? They seem to be about the only other ride height adjustable set up as far as I have seen. I wonder if you guys who didn't like them used some disagreeable spring rates? And did you have good shocks such as Konis? I'm looking for an adjustable setup -- both ride height and damper control.
