Default Feeler: Complete Ground Control System

As the title suggests, I might be looking to sell my GC system complete with 550, 600, and 650 in-lb 10" springs and 650 and 700 in-lbs 8" springs (for those of you who want to significantly lower the rear end without utilizing the MM kit).

I'd be looking for $500, which is the normal retail cost of the kit with 4 springs. My package would come with 10. Thoughts?

That depends on whether or not I transition away from my FG2 / GC setup to a cheap K-Sport coilover setup. My ultimate goal is to get rid of everything (I hate having junk lying around), so I'll see what kind of interest other people have in the complete package.

I'd be interested in the complete package. Only reason i wasnt going to go GC is because the way it comes, it wouldnt go low enough for my taste.

Trade for some FG2's and a little cash?

If I dump the GC kit, I'll be doing it for something that will replace the FG2s. My primary concern with doing anything less than the KW Variant 3 is that the ride quality will be worse or reliability will suffer.

Ahh I see. Well KW's are def top notch over the rest. I was looking into coilovers awhile back and considered k-sports for the adjustability but decided to wait until I can afford the KW's before I'd buy a set

KW V3 are not even a full coilover system unfortunately the rear remains springs separate from shocks. If you want the best true 4 corner coilovers, you want the LG motorsports coilovers.

ok. well at least give me the part numbers off those 8" coils and I will just have to get my own. did you ever run the 10" in front and 8" in rear at the same time?

how did the 8" ride compared to the 10" ride?? any difference?

if you aurocross the stock rear spring location can keep you in a lower class. at the end of the day a quality spring and shock that are separate can be as good as a coilover

while this is true, the KWs are still not rebuildable and that would be a deal breaker for me spending that kind of money
