how do you like you GC coilovers, people seem to be saying many bad things about them and I just wanted to know what you, personally, thought of them?

thanks man!

I love them! I've ridden in cars with Intrax, Eibach, and H&R's, and they ride very similar the the Eibach lowering springs. I have factory struts, and have the coil-overs as low as they will go. The only set back is that the front stock lower spring perch won't let me go all the way down. Its still very low though. The only problems I had with them is that the plastic washer/bearings at the top of the springs were crushed. I simply cut them off and don't use them. I haven't seen any side effects from doing this. I think the reason they were crushed is from hitting huge bumps in the road, that and not slowing down for railroad tracks. I've very seldom bottomed out my shocks, and on the interstate it rides just as smooth as stock. At Maxus I gave Ming a ride, and he said that my car rode a lot better then his with the Cattman coil-overs. I am also very good friends with EricGP, and he is very satisfied with his coil-overs too.

 

DO YOU HAVE ANY SIDE PROFILE SHOTS WITH THE COILOVERS AS LOW AS THEY WILL GO? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE FROM THE SIDE SO I GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LOW THEY DROP THE MAX! HOW MUCH AND WHERE DID YOU GET THEM FROM?

THANKS BRO,

Here's a pic from the side and here's a pic with a wheel in next to mine, so you can get an idea of the wheel gap. I paid $320 for them on the group deal. You can get them for $400 through ground control at http://www.ground-control.com

Sorry I don't have a better side pic. I'll try to get one and post it too.

 

Speaking of which, where are EricGP and Josh? Do they visit here at all?

 

Josh doesn't, EricGP does but doesn't post. EricGP used to post, but he got burnt out on the old BBS.

 

FOR THE MAXIMA ON THE GROUND CONTROL PAGE, I DIDN'T SEE ONE UNLESS I'M TOTALLY BLIND!
WHERE IS THE GROUPBUYCENTER? ARE THOSE COILOVERS STILL AVAILABLE AT THAT PRICE OR WAS THAT A ONE TIME DEAL?

CHEERS,
