Anyone have experience using their products ?
Seems like a very thought out suspension kit.
I just find it interesting that they are using Eibach springs and Koni struts and shocks. Wonder why they did'nt go with the Eibach Pro System.

Those are nice, but the Koni shocks are adjustable.

Koni should be coming out with some struts and shocks pretty soon.

I don't think either of these kits make the rear into a coil over (at least not be looking at them, call before you buy!!!)

If that is the truth then since the fronts are already coil overs then the only thing you really get is the ride height adjustability which would allow you to corner weight the car, but that will really only help with serious AutoX or Road Racing.

You may just want to get some Custom Eibach springs from Ground Control or Maximum Motorsports and the Koni Shocks(Single or Double Adjustable) when they come out. And spend the rest of the money on other suspension mods.

I'm still not decided on my final setup but I still have a while to go until I upgrade the springs.

If all you want is better street handling then the prokit with some Tokico shocks should be fine.

Thats pretty much it...street driving but I like to ride on rails on the street Never auto x and dont really plan to, but maybe one day. I am also looking at getting the eibach sways, and I should be getting my bmr stb anyday now. If the eibach shocks were adjustabale I would get them, but they are not going to be I dont believe.

That GC looks more complete than the H&R and seems like a good price for the extras I guess.

A buddy of mine is running a set of GC coil overs that he put on a week ago. He likes them.

Call the guys at Ground Control, they will set you up with custom spring rates specific to the type of driving you want to do.
