Just Recieved Ground Control Coilovers

[mazpro]

when are you getting the rims?

 

[hawaiian_msp]

really? did you roll fenders? i imagine that would cure that problem.

yup! I self-rolled them and no problems since

 

[sickspeed94]

baseball bat tecnique or actual fender roller?

 

[b00sted]

hell yea, looks tight bro

baseball bat tecnique or actual fender roller?

[RyanJayG]

lowness

I just love the way that looks,but I am done with haveing a car that low,not worth the hassle.

looks damn good though.


BTW,is there a problem with your front lip?it looks like it's comming off.

 

[sickspeed94]

no the lip is just put on improperly, i had it on correctly but the body shop that repaired it after i cracked it put it on slopily. (it used to be CF)

This Coilovers seem to good to be true.... Don't know if I should just wait till next year to buy the k-sport kit or grab these with some cross drilled/slotted rotors off **********.... (thinkbeer

decisions...decisions

i've seen teh coilovers, they r teh Hawtness (bowdown) , gave the car a whole new attitude, rotors r moew of a subtle mod, these will get A LOT of attention

 

[wicked]

we ran with ground control on my girlfriends GS-T spyder,and they do the job,but are a horrible ride when dropped down low.

but you have to make sacrifices for the good looks.

 

[OldYellerSpeed]

I dont think i'll be able to drop it 2 low with the front lip im going to be putting on.... I think i just wanna do 1.2 in the front and 1 inch in the back...

 

[CChris704]

may want to think about springs then... get those rims yet sickspeed?

 

[MSP #167]

do you run the stock shocks with them?

 

[sickspeed94]

yeah they're on the stock shocks.

the wheels are having tires put on them today/tomorrow, i'll pick them up saturday WOOT!

and i dunno about the spyder eclipse, but mine really don't ride that terrible down all the way low, i mean there's a certain part of 595 that get's kinda agitating after you have these because it's all sweeping bumps that kinda bounce your head a bit, but trust me you get used to it quick...

side note, if buying GCC's LOSE ALL FRINED WITH SPEEDBUMP EQUIPPED NEIGHBORHOODS
side note 2, i can ALMOST fit under my guard gate (first)
and to anyone who thinks your handling will stay the same or get worse, you're wrong, offraps come easy at 85+ mph (the long turn ones not the spiral ones)
LONG TERM REPORT
my front suspension is squeaking a great deal now but that's only because i accidently didn't tighten down the allan key screw all the way and i'm gonna do it when i change the wheels, i'll let everyone know if it stops.
