I'm looking at going w/ a Ground Control coilover w/ adjustable Konis (yellows) for a "budget" suspension. I've used the Konis in the past and loved them and have heard good things about Ground Controls. Just looking for some feedback if anyone has any experience w/ this setup.

match these up with the proper springs rates and have her corner balanced..

itll rival that of the high priced coilovers... ive had this setup and would not hesitate using it on the next fd...

most will never get to a point on the track where they will note the minimal differences anyway imho..

i've ran GC's and koni yellows for years on my track FD.. I can't understand people buying the higer priced coilovers ....





Like Jio (amp) stated... 99% of the people with them will NEVER see a level of driving skill where they will know the difference between them..

Awesome, thanks for the feedback guys. I'm feeling pretty good on my decision for suspension now. If it's good enough for an FD, it'll be good enough for a $700 FC.



I'm building up my FC for a weekend toy, track day, autocross, hillclimb car. That said, my budget isn't very large. But I do what I can to get quality parts. If I can get 95% of the performance for less than half the price........I'm all over it.



I know I'm obsessed when I spend more on suspension than I paid for the car? And the wheels I'm working on getting only compound it.

Not GC sleeves, but we make these here..

1 or 2 way adjustable dampening for the FC...
