Ground Control makes some of the best performance oriented suspension products in the states. Nice setups using good Koni dampers.

Since it's not a strut that's not really an adjustment you can build into the spring/damper unit.

Does the owner have to supply the front strut housing and do you reinforce like some of the other kits?

I have to send my front E30 M3 strut housings in for you guys to reinforce and PC eventually.

They use Konis. I believe they are making their own housings but I'm not sure. You can pick between Koni Sport single adj, Koni Yellow Race, or Koni double adjustable, presumably on the yellow Sports, but not 100% sure. The rears are a Koni 30 series shock, sucks to adjust the damping setting on them (has to be off the car), that's the only bad thing though.
