Question Ground Control

Ok Ive been thinkin about gettin Ground Control for my FD and Im just wonderin if there are any downers to them. I had them on my prelude and it rode like a dream even at 100mph and beyond. Are they just as good on the FD?? For about $400 its a pretty good investment if they worth it......so I guess thats the question. Are they worth it for the FD??

Another problem Im having is that the right side rear of my car sits higher then the rest of the car.....does anyone else have this issue???

PM Silver7 about them. He has those on his car along with Konis. As far as I know, he loves the setup.

I'm very happy with my GC coil overs. You can order them from GC or Ntech for around $600. If you call either of them they can help you out with your spring rate selection. The handling improvement from switching over to the GC coil overs and Koni shocks was remarkable! The coil overs will also solve your ride height problem since they are completely adjustable. I would have a good mechanic look over the suspension first to make sure there aren't any other serious issues.

If you look around you'll find me poking in and out of different forums. I like to keep it "low key".
