Finally lowered the max. Went with Illumina's and ground control coilovers.


Lowered 2" on the front and 1.5" on the rear.

 

looks perfect, how is the ride?

 

wow pretty low!!

 

looks good man how much did you spend for this set up?

 

drivinmax, I spent $500 for the whole setup I got lucky with the ground controls and they were free, so I just had to pay for the illuminas and some bearings.

The ride isnt bad at all, its a lot harder than stock obviously but its not harsh enough to bother me. Handling is much tighter, barely any body roll now. Bumps get a little bouncy too. Only complaint is the rattling, but that was expected ahead of time so its no suprise.

 

I have heard really bad things about these ground control coilovers...like say for example the springs just shattering in the bits and pieces. The ride feeling like crap after a few weeks.

 

Nice drop Venompwr2. I'll defend the Ground Controls. I've had the GC on my car for a coup[le of years now. I paired them with KYB AGXs. Still stiff like new.

 

looks real good man.

 

the gc's are cool my bro hadem on his acura back in the day, the eibachs arent shattering lol.

 

Ahhh... The two-finger-gap! I've always loved that look!
I'm 50/50 on the GC's as I've heard an equal amount of positive and negative stories about them. The only time I've ever ridden on GC's was in a co-workers Integra and the ride felt extremely stiff but he was riding on Konis... nothing to compare just thought I'd share!

Good luck w/ the setup

 

Ground Controls are fantastic. I've had them on an altima for a couple of years now with no problems. If they're too harsh, you can get different spring rates from Eibach/GC.

 

I have heard all of these things about the gc's too...but not the spring shattering, I find that one kind of hard to believe. I needed something adjustable because we get pounded with snow in the winter and I am not going to be driving around with the car lowered all year, so it has to go back up for winter time. This was what I decided to go with. The ride is kind of harsh, but not bad really, our corvette is 30X stiffer.
