Those are just bits and pieces of the other guy's car - nothing you'll use. I'd guess that the guy sold the springs to you because he installed the Ground Control kit, which might be why those parts are removed from his car.
Anyway, you need to PM or email MightyMouse for a set of spacers for the rear Nivomat shocks. To play it safe, you'll also probably want to get your hands on a set of z06 end links too. Lots of reports of OEM links snapping once lowered. Also lots of people who say they're just fine with the OEM links, so it's your call.

Exactly, he did switch to GC so the guy threw that **** in there to confuse me. ![The Judge](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_judge.gif)
I ordered some MM spacers. Cool dude. He shipped them to me so I would have them by Friday. I just hope that I dont end up too low in the rear...an ever so slight rake would be perfect. What is this Edmod you speaketh of?
Also, I ordered the Z06 endlinks...I hope 20822934 is the correct P/N.
I shoud be stylin'.
Heres what's going on this weekend:
H&R Springs/MM spacers/Z06 endlinks
CS transmount and diff bushing (needed badly, ******* clunks drive me crazy)
slotted/drilled rotors/red PC calipers/SS lines
+ some more blackout items (fog lens tint, lug nuts, etc)
Last weekend I added my CS front plate bracket, painted the front grille, and tinted the taillights. Looks so much better! Cant wait to get it dropped with the new rotors!

A few of us felt that the h&r springs lowered the rear too much, producing a "reverse rake", among other issues. The other issues I personally had were the result of a combination of things, including the drop from the springs and my 19x10 wheels and 275 tires. My fender lip took a few good bites out of my new tires. OEM sized wheels and tires would be fine though.
What I eventually did was follow Edmond's lead and 'spaced' up the rear springs with a home made 3/8ths thick rubber washer that we cut out of 6x6 rubber sheets (mcmaster Carr sells) placed under the lower spring perch. Edmond has a thread here somewhere that's a little more detailed on what exactly we did...
