coilover system by ground control

Just curious if anyone has put the Ground Control Kit for 11-13 Mustangs on their vehicle.
The kit includes camber plates, Koni struts/shocks, adjustable spring perch for rear and is about 300 bucks more than a standard Koni Sport/ lowering spring/camber plate set up.
2011-2013 Mustang Complete Kit
Product SKU #4007.87

THIS KIT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: (click items for details)

Single adjustable, custom valved Konis in Ground Control short strut housings

2 SHORT Koni single adjustable rear shocks

1 Pair front Camber Plates

4 Ground Control springs, manufactured by Eibach, to GC specs

2 Ground Control bump stops (made in Germany)

2 Rear Ride Height Adjusters

1 Pair rear upper shock mounts (urethane)



* Suspension is shipped completely assembled and preadjusted *

I like the adjustability features but would like to know if it increases NVH etc and if it is really worth the additional cost.
My ride is a daily driver and It will be driven hard on weekends in the mountains.
Thanks

I didn't buy their complete system but I did buy ground control caster camber plates, Koni sport shocks but with steeda springs, not gc springs. I assume it would be similar. I have no noise that I can notice. It made my car a blast through the twisty stuff and much better mannered for daily driving. I had the brembo springs and they were horrible. You should see a great improvement.

They're a shorter strut and shock to allow for the coilovers to get you lower. If height adjustability is important to you, do it. The GC kit is great, height and dampening adjustable. If you don't really care about height adjustability get the Koni sports (right now we're offering for 635 shipped) and a good spring. A lot of individuals like the Steeda's which is a great setup. I wouldn't go much lower than what steeda offers anyways.

Is that $635 shipped with Steeda Springs? Or just the Struts?
