Cool Ground Control

I just installed my Ground Control coilovers today that I bought from Charles (NSX4DR) and my car looks sooo tight now...I have absolutely no wheel gap, not even one finger on all four wheels. The rears are completly lowered all the way and the fronts have about three turns left on em...the ride quality is much better than I expected and best of all, NO RUBBING!!...sorry I'm rambling, but I'm excited ...Neuspeed chrome upper strut bar and Tokico shocks soon ...anywayz I'll post pics as soon as I wash the car tommorrow.

Well, I don't have the money for the shocks yet, and besides my friend is the head mechanic at a local import repair shop and does it for next to nothing on the side...I sould have the money in a couple of weeks for the shocks...

Congrats on the GC's man...I've got a set on my Teg and absolutely love them. I'm running mine with the stock shocks (I was more interested in keeping it comfortable) and it rides SOOO good!! Even my installer couldn't believe how good the ride was to be lowered...it's really not all that different from stock, only now I have hardly no body roll!!! Congrats again man...hope you like them as much as I do!!

Thanks man, but I like feeling the road as I drive and want an all around suspension upgrade over stock...Just now ordered the Neuspeed chrome front upper strut bar from Tim...hopefully this will tighten things up a bit more also.

The installer had already adjusted it for me, but it seems level...I'm also thinking of getting the Tokico shocks, how do you like them? If it rubs I'll just raise it alittle, I guess

I have +47mm 19s with the GC almost all the way down and it only rubs on very hard bumps w/ 4 people in the car.....
