I just did the koni, ground control combo on my max, which I
hate the ride quality. I then went into the basement and pulled out a set of eibach. My question is when I took apart the unit what position does the the top strut mount go. I noticed that the mount is cut on a angle. I would think that the higher side of the mount would go on the opposite side of the end of the top coil. This sound confusing but those who did there struts themselves know what I am saying. Also did anyone change the strut bearing
because of wear? Holla

I am about to try the Koni Ground Control setup this weekend. You don't like the ride? How come? I have Tokicos and Ground control right now and this setup sucks. It is way too bouncy.

When I installed my ground controls I had new strut bearings put in. $20 each from any nissan dealer.

Don't do it the ride still suck. I had the Koni's on firm and it still bounces like heck. Ground control suck. Go with
a lower drop spring like sprint. The eibachs are a million times better ride quality that the G.C. . Holla
