KYG/AGX - Ground control install ???

OK - i'm doing my Kyg/Ground control install this weekend (on a 4th Gen):

1 question:

Front:
Is the threaded sleeve of the GC supposed to rest on the bottom of the strut (with no plastic or anyting in between) - Metal on Metal?

I would think there would be something in between - is the GC aluminum threaded sleeve that stong?

Thanks,

PG

I don't have ground controls, so I can't answer your question with 100% certainty...however, metal on metal is generally a no-no where springs & struts are concerned. I have the H&R/AGX combo and the bottom and top ends of my springs are covered with OEM plastic sleeves that rest on the bottom strut & upper rubber mounts.

I hope this helps.....

I asked the same thing with my OBX coilovers, I was told yes, they just sit right on the spring perch. Mine are sitting there and I have had no problems and the sleeve is not deformed in any way.
