I just ordered Ground Controls and Tokico Blue's for my I30t. I really wanted illuminas or koni yellows but got a good deal. What does everyone think of these?

 

Ground controls are the worst coilovers made for our cars.
Tokico Blues are a soft valved stock replacement unit and really wount dampen them enough.

Bad + Bad = More Bad.

 

omg..............................................! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!get a refund...save up for a few more months and get a tein basic kit...

u should've asked first...

 

Ground controls are not that bad, they are good for the price.

 

yeah like 30 bucks on ebay.

 

i don't see why everyone bashes on ground controls; they give good performance with the right shock setup...the blues are alittle too soft for th gc's in my opinion.

Don't over lower with the gc's, you'll definitely want some shock travel so that you get a proper ride..i've got mine too low, it's too bumpy for around the town driving imo (so don't slam your car with them). If you have your car dropped decently (around the drop of the s-tech's you should be OK, but i definitely suggest stonger shocks). The ride is definitely stiffer than stock.

 

I saw pix of someones ride where the spring broke into like 10 million pieces...well maybe not that many but more like 3. but still very dangerous

 

my first setup was gc's w/blues. It was a really really rough ride.

 

Give us a review after you get it all installed and dialed in. Sometime people need to feel it to believe it



that was someone with drop zone springs. They were red and broke in about 3 different places.

 

ok definetely, so are there any other coilovers other than gc, tein, and the JIC?

 

I too have gc coming in, I heard good reviews on gc with agx. anyone have instructions on installation?

 

K sports seem to be pretty good, the whole set up for like $750, adjustable damping, that's a pretty good deal.

 

Dont think the Ksports are $750 anymore, that was an introductary deal and I think its full price now.

 

Ksport has coil overs, and Boss Chien but 1fstmax is the only car with them as there still in prototype/testing stages.

 

GC's have different springrates for diff struts. I would look at the number printed on the spring and look up what its' suppoed to be paired with.
