Finally lowered the max. Went with Illumina's and ground control coilovers.


Lowered 2" on the front and 1.5" on the rear.

drivinmax, I spent $500 for the whole setup I got lucky with the ground controls and they were free, so I just had to pay for the illuminas and some bearings.

The ride isnt bad at all, its a lot harder than stock obviously but its not harsh enough to bother me. Handling is much tighter, barely any body roll now. Bumps get a little bouncy too. Only complaint is the rattling, but that was expected ahead of time so its no suprise.

I have heard really bad things about these ground control coilovers...like say for example the springs just shattering in the bits and pieces. The ride feeling like crap after a few weeks.

Nice drop Venompwr2. I'll defend the Ground Controls. I've had the GC on my car for a coup[le of years now. I paired them with KYB AGXs. Still stiff like new.

Ahhh... The two-finger-gap! I've always loved that look!
I'm 50/50 on the GC's as I've heard an equal amount of positive and negative stories about them. The only time I've ever ridden on GC's was in a co-workers Integra and the ride felt extremely stiff but he was riding on Konis... nothing to compare just thought I'd share!

Good luck w/ the setup

Ground Controls are fantastic. I've had them on an altima for a couple of years now with no problems. If they're too harsh, you can get different spring rates from Eibach/GC.

I have heard all of these things about the gc's too...but not the spring shattering, I find that one kind of hard to believe. I needed something adjustable because we get pounded with snow in the winter and I am not going to be driving around with the car lowered all year, so it has to go back up for winter time. This was what I decided to go with. The ride is kind of harsh, but not bad really, our corvette is 30X stiffer.
