SOLD

This is the kit in this link:

www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=644/CA=96

I purchased thinking I would go ultra low and found that while the rear was easy to do that with, the front would require modification of the stock strut perch to really drop it low, which I didn't want to get into.

I believe based on ride feel when driving with the rear on that this is the sport spring rate kit, though a call to GC could probably confirm that. Bought from another member on here in new condition, the rear has been installed and was used for approx 1k miles, one front was test fit only. There are a few scuff from installation, but other than that great condition. Included is all parts from GC including instructions, weld-in perches for the front if you do modify your stock style struts, and a spanner wrench I had laying around that I modified to make work with these collars.

I ended up going with eibach Sportlines simply because it was much easier to fool with and easier to return to stock.

Asking $250 shipped or less if picked up in STL area. These go for around $400 new anywhere I was able to find online.

I believe this kit was made for removal of the strut perch as it has the tabs to weld on for supporting the coilover perch. It would need to be confirmed with GC, but I think all that is needed to make it work with stock perches is shorter front springs which I think is less than $100. The back I ran for a short time and it def has enough adjustment to tuck the rear tires a little.

is it compatible with the strange single adjustable from struts? The body I believe is a little larger diameter than stock.

The front sleeves are pretty close size to stock strut body diameter. If it's larger than stock I'm not sure it would work, but let me take an ID measurement of the sleeve and I'll post it up

How do these work, Im interested buy dont want to have any problems, They work the same as an adjustable coil over? Does it hold the suspension and prevent body roll well?

The longer springs with the weld in perches gives you a lot more spring options. These are great kits and are guaranteed for the life regardless of what you run it as. Race car or street car they stand behind the product.

Yes as stated def high quality. This kit will require removal of perches from stock-style front struts for full adjustability, but I change setups so much I didn't want to cut up my strt's and make them harder to sell in the future. I believe all you need to make this work without removing the perches is shorter springs from GC, but def is a better setup adjustability-wise with the perches removed.
