Ground Controls? cheapest place to buy? what kind of struts?

i currently have Maxspeed Springs with KYB GR-2's and i have a buddy that has Ground COntrols.....his drop looks awesome....

i was just wondering how much Ground Controls typically run and what kind of struts would i need for these?

Dont know much about them but I'm very sure that GR-2 wouldnt be the best match, you'd want Illuminas or AGX.

don't go cheap with suspension. You'll be kicking yourself later.

S-Techs and Illuminas give a nice drop, you can get them for less than $600.

ive heard both sides of this very large dispute about sleeve coilovers and springs. Right now i have sprint springs. The car sat nice but then i cut 1 coil off the rear and the rear sat a lot better.

Well i just got a good deal on some GCs off a org member. As soon as i get them on and everything i will let you all know how i like them. People love them, then some hate them.

If i would go back to before when i was gonna do my suspension, i would get a true coilover setup. For the moeny you pay for shocks and springs, you might as well spend the extra ~200? for a real setup that will feel like you car is on rails.

There are many different choices when it come to suspension. Check out this site.. http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaHandling it has a lot of helpful information.

There is a wide choice of spring: Sprint, Teins, progress, H&R, B&G, Eibach, and many more.

As for a true coilover kit, the Best one out there is the JIC Magic, but of course thats about 1500$ The next down would be very close. Many new brands are araising. K-Sport, D2, Progress, Tien Basics.

Do some research and ask some questions. Im sure some of the big dogs will be showing up and telling you about there true coilovers. Just look around and see what you like, but if your getting a whole new suspension, i would HIGHLY suggest a true coilover kit. Either Tien Basic, KSports, or D2s. (those are the onlys ones i can think of)

Good luck

-Sean
