Hi. Ok, so I actually drove the car for a while this morning and here goes:

1. Yes, the ride is a little bouncier then i'd like, but it is SOOOOO much better then stock!

2. The ride is on the harsh side (I feel every bump). I am sure this can be "tunned", but I am happy the way it is. If you have ever been in a Vette, especially 80's and early 90's, its a similar ride.

3. I can corner like its on rails! YES! I was flying around turns today with no problems.

4. I have no experience with other Coils (Cattman, Weapon R), but for the money, $400, these are not bad. I didn't want to spend $1400 on Cattmans (They are actually more like $1800, but I figure $400 of that is the Shocks/Struts) and Weapon R's I have heard nothing but problems. I wanted to be able to raise/lower the car at will, and was not willing to go to airbags and not spending $1400 on Coils.

5. To adjust the KYB's, you need a small screw driver (Included) for the front ones, and just your hand for the rears. If it is not lowered, to adjust your setup would be 1 or 2 minutes. If it is lowered, the rear is hard to get to and you must jack it up, or have paper thin hands (Which I don't).

I will be at the N.E. Woodbury meet if anyone wants a ride.

What spring rates did you get? Or did you get the default or whatever Ground Control suggested? Did you order directly from Ground Control or through a distributor? If you ordered from GC directly, did they help you with the spring rates and such? thanks.

 

How low do you have it dropped?

 

thanks for the info. i was curious how to adjust them

 

I don't know what spring rate I have, I didn't know there was a choice, but I will find out Friday. I got them from my local Tunning shop in NJ. They had a set left over and gave me a great price.

 

You have choices of spring lengths and spring rates in 50 lbs/inch increments...do you remember what numbers were on the springs?

 

well....i have the Weapon R*s.....and let me tell you.....everything you have heard about them is untrue...i just wanted to set the record straight....cuz before i bought them...everyone told me not to get them and that they were crap...yet none of these people owned them....so i figured what the heck..ill try them out....and they are awesome....a little bouncy...but not bad....its on the harsh side...but i blame alot of that cuz i have 18" wheels...but other than that.....no problems......

 

They are prob. very similar to mine. Enjoy them.

I want to play with my suspension eventually. Man I see all these dropped Max's and wish mine was done.

I waited 1 1/2 years to drop my car, they kept telling me about these damn KYB's. It feels good to get something after waiting sooo long.
