Anyone using Ground Control coilovers? I know they aren't real "coil overs", but I was thinking about combining them with KYB AGB dampers. Anyone with this setup? Any other suggestions are welcome. This car is my DD, but I do want to tighten up the suspension quite a bit.

 

i have the k2rd setup, its basically a revised ground control setup. works great

I don't see them on their web site. Any other links for me to take a peek at them?

 

not that i know of, i think i can get some pics tomorrow

Any luck on some pictures for me? Did you get these directly from K2RD? Why these over the Ground Control units? Price? Quality? Name? What is the price difference?



Thanks.

 

One of the things I've found with making coilovers for other cars, is the dual zone shock/struts wear out pretty fast with lowered coilovers. The problem arises because the stachion, when lowered, resides 100% of the time in the hard ride zone, this destroys the valving, airates the fluid and in some cases can actually bend the base pin from bottoming out.. a standard set of KYB GR-2 or Tociko HP's will wear out anywere from 3 to 9 months, depending on lowering and driving conditions.. If your going to lower the car set an adjustable dampening rate strut/shock like a set of Koni sport or AGX's...

 

no pics yet. the revisions are; a conical bearing seat so you dont have to set the spring pearch everytime you raise/lower the car. they are made out of steel, the al plates break, the k2rd plates are a tad shorter overall too. they use the stock strut top nuts too. i dont know how the gc ones price out.
