Ground Control Coilover Problem

[jhstealth]

Is the top of the Steve resting directly on the top of the shock? I know with my e46 there was an issue of the sleeve getting caught up on a wide spot of the shock and then needed some trimming. To get them truly low though I needed to get some slim camber plates, sort of the Cosmo racing style.

my fronts as low as they can go are still stock ride height.


annoyed.

Sounds like there are multiple people with the same problem. Are they sending out too long of a spring, or the wrong lengths??

What lengths are you guys getting that has this problem? 7"?

Is the problem only in the rear?

What is the height adj range in the front? or, what the lowest adj you can go in the front?

I have plenty of travel on the front, it was the rear that was the problem. GC's "fix" for it was to send me 6 inch springs to replace the usual 7 inch rear springs. Not sure if I'm going to use them as I just got the car corner- balanced and it handles great and rides fine. Just lots of clunking from front and rear over sharp bumps.

6''spring, lowest in the front.


installing the last rear now

The front should be the shorter springs. The rears should be 7 inches. What rates did you get? Let us know how it ends up. By the way, there was very little, if any, settling afterwards.

Rears are in, the drop is even. but it sure is high. I had 6'' front and rear springs.


Two fingers front and rear between the fender and the tire at maximum drop.


I'll go to the car wash and take a few pics, im very disappointed so far.

It's odd that both sets of springs were 6 inches. Mark at GC confirmed that the rears are supposed to be 7s.

I'm going to try and return my kit. This is unsat for me.

Hmm..that is a bit high. Does everyone with the sleeves end up being so high at max drop?

His car is lower than mine, but I do have the 7 in springs on the back. I hate this kit. A total waste of 480 bucks.

i'm taking them off tomorrow, they ride decent, but good god, I got the same feeling from stock springs, and the same ride height.

I spent nearly $600 on this, because everyone charges all the arms and legs to ship to canada, duty fee's and tax's.

I would take them off, but I already invested 250.00 in corner balancing. I'm gonna leave them till I get some real coil overs. I was going to get Koni yellows, but GC said these sleeves don't work with Konis. Those sleeves are an additional 44.00 per end.
