Default Need rear shock hardware

Hey guys, finished installing my Ground Control coilovers, but when I pulled off the rear shocks, I realized that it didn't have any of the stock hardware that is supposed to work with the GC kit. I need the stock metal spacer, washer, shock sleeve, and shock plate with studs.



If anyone has these laying around after lowering their car, please get in touch with me and we can work something out. Thanks!

Ok, I must be overthinking this. Forgive my ignorance, but the car came lowered on H&R springs, so obviously it had a spacer kit for it to work correctly. When I first installed the GC coilovers, I didn't touch the shocks because I figured the spacer kit would work. When I set the car back down, it was at stock ride height. I even adjusted the coilovers about an inch and it didn't seem to change the height. Will the shocks "settle" once I start driving it, or does it sound like I need to install the GC directed configuration?

IMO you should replace all of that with a spherical from BANSKI.

He does make them for the CTS-V.
