I need some help and opinions on what is a better set up for my car its a 87 n/a with new cluth and some other stuff, I have heard that ground control's coil over sleeves are rather good for the price and all, but these k2rd coilovers seem really like a better deal price wise and the fact that i think they come with new pillow ball mounts, or am i wrong, i know it says does not come with shocks. can anyone help out and give some opinions and what not , thanks in advance

Well to be honest they are basically the same. You'll need the front camber plates as well on either if you want any adjustment.

I prefer K2RD for obvious reasons, A) I sell their parts B) I know the people who run the joint and they's good people that stand behind their products. That means more then price to me ANY day.

You get the coil with the collar. Basically the same as Ground Control. You should get the front camber plates as well or you won't have much adjustment. But that goes the same for both ground control and K2RD.

LOL he asked why, I was honest.....



Adjustment, without the front camber plates is about nothing. I believe it's about 4 inches with the camber plates, but don't quote me on that.



They are in the process of a move right now, I will shoot them a message and ask or maybe Mike can answer the question when he gets back from the pool LOL

Yes, they are Eibach 375 lbs springs.



You talking about the pillow ball mounts in the rear?
