Re: Cattman Coilovers.......DAMN......

Because airbags handle like ****. Have you ever seen what an airbagged car does? When it's low, it basically wallows and bounces up and down. The Cattman's are for performance, airbags are for looks.

Ground Control and Weapon R's are not true coilovers.. they are springs..

you will still have to purchase struts, camber bolts or plates for them

does anyone have experience with these three different coilovers? I have heard that they handle like crap, and bounce all over the place, not to mention that the locking mechanism is pretty weak (i am only repeating what i read in a weapon r review). i would like to have adjustable height and have a somewhat comfy ride... is this just plain impossible or what? thanks for any input

So why are teh Cattmans called "true" coilovers while the
Ground Controls are called "psuedo" or "not true" coilovers.
What is the difference?

I got my whole ground control kit including struts, springs, and Eibach camber alignment kit for about $1050.

Maxima's don't need camber corrections. I cut my springs and am surpassing a 3" drop and my camber is like -.75 degree.

What kind of struts did GC sell you? Eibach camber kit is no camber plates.
