Ground Control Coilovers?

pdiddy2386 · 01-13-2007, 04:14 PM

Are ground control coilovers any good? Is the ride quality good and would it be a bad idea to have them in the winter?

Yes, yes and no, pdiddy...

i'm just worried the sleeves might get rusted causing them to be impossible to adjust..

Dunno if anybody has them yet, but I'd planned on getting them. Still not sure if I want to go with another GC/Koni setup or FnF coilovers. I had them on my Legend back when I was in Maryland. Koni/GC setup. It was perfect for comfort, but it was a fairly significant handling upgrade, especially when paired with the sway and tower bars. Where do you live? Do they do a lot of salting? That's more so what you'd have to worry about in regards to rust, but these are quality parts, not some cheap-o eBay stuff. I had mine on for 3 years until I got up here and no signs of rust.

i live in new york and they do a fairly amount of salting when it snows. So yours lasted 3 years without rusting, did you ever drive them through salt or anything? Can they be adjust by hand or do you need to use the tool.
