I've recently installed Ground control coilovers and Tokico HP (blue) set up. The drop is spectacular, but it rides like crap. I feel every single bump on the road and if i dont do something soon, im going to drive off a cliff. Is there anything i might be doing wrong? i've heard coilovers were a stiff ride, but this is RIDICULOUS! Also, am i able to use GC w/tokico illuminas? i've heard that i couldn't, therefore, i went with the blues. can someone give me the skinny on this matter before i get whiplash from this ride? Thanx.

 

blues are slightly better then stock.. they suck for drops.. especcially ones with high linear rate like GC.. if you dont get rid of them soon and get agx, ilumias or loni yellow, they will prolly blow within a year. get adjustble shocks and turn them up(near stiffest setting) on stiffness. ride will be getter.

 

How much did you drop them? You cannot expect a stock-like ride with a four inch drop.

I had my GC's set at four inches and LOVED the look. The ride was just something I got used to.

 

i dropped them about 4 inches in the front and although i set the threads down to the lowest, it only dropped about 1 1/2-2 inches (it was down to the max, but still didnt drop? whats up?

 

so it looks like an old domestic dragcar, with the *** all high?

I dunno, sounds like botched install. I did mine myself and it was pretty much even all around...no problems, except a lot of noise.

1st gen gc's

 

I used tok. blues when I fisrt lowered. They suck. You feel every little bump in the road, but over dips in the road, its like being on a rollercoaster. I just installed gr2's and am very satisfied so far. Much better rebound.

 

I can get you illuminas for $452 shipped let me know.

 

really? brand new? i need to know whether or not the illuminas will be compatible w/gc's..

What are GR2's?

 

Yep Brand new here is the groupbuy I ran a few weeks ago http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=195814 they should work with illuminas.

 

gr2's are made by KYB
