what do you guys all think of ground control coilovers? i am getting rid of my blown ksports for trade for a good spring and i really want the eibach pro kit or h&r's. but i had an offer for ground controls. what do you guys think? im looking for a gapless setup, with moderately stiff springs that still offer a decent ride, and good handling. do the ground controls offer that or no...?

Hey AJ, what PSI are you running. At 4psi I was at 156hp
yellows? i have tokicos and staggs and the struts are great, i just wanna lower the car a bit.
and im peaking at 4psi but i think im making more power than that, i have plenty other mods that pair with it: ssftc, ported intake mani and TB, recirced bov, header to sls catless midpipe to 3 inch apexi underaxle exhaust, rrfpr, FMIC, etc.. when i get it dyno tuned this summer ill get back with some numbers

^ My mods were comparable. Id be surprised if you broke 160
I meant to say YellowSpeeds. You're probably close to where I was last last year without the tune. Probably around the 160-170whp mark. There will be a dyno at Mid-Ohio so we'll be able to compare there. Fingers crossed for anything over 200, but would be fine with 199

I feel ya, even at 9psi it wasnt quick enough for me, thats why I went turbo. =)
You might not want to lower your car much more because those wheels poke in the rear and you might have issues with softer springs at a lower setting. Why don't you with your summer money just rebuild the Ksports?

I'm alright with being slow, thats why i bought the novelty SC for the car like Cres said 9PSI is still slow. hell my new Focus has more power stock ( wifes car)
lol im not alright with being protege slow, but im ok with making the best out of what i have and doing everything to squeeze out an extra horsepower.
and corey these ground controls can adjust up and down to make room for de slicks. i have someone waiting to paypal money in the us to ship them, and someone who got to me first who wants to trade gcs and these but he is in canada and it is expensive to ship these up there. so its either ground controls or i use the money to buy the eibach pro kit.

Subbing! Nice build man, ones like these make me want to start my own. Quick question about the Subaru lip, how hard are they to install? And is this the same one? https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
thanks pal!
and yep thats the one. very easy to install. my reccomendation though is have someone help you hold it up, and put the center screw in first and expand from the center to the sides. itll help it form the best. and do it on a warm sunny day to help persuade it
