Check out Ground-Control.com . This system is adjustable from 1-3" of drop. It converts our suspension to coil-over. From what I've heard previously it wa the way to go, but I'd like more info. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Let us know what you think. I would also like a set of these. Slam the car around town and raise it up for the 28's at the track! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> You'd get the best of both worlds.

I've had em for probably a year and a half now or so. I always enjoyed them. No matter how many times I posted about them on here or ls2.moc nobody would ever listen to me about how cool they were.

Anyways, it doesnt convert anything to "coil over". Our stock front suspension is already coil over, and for the backs you just get weight jackers (not coil overs). All you gain is height adjustibility on all 4 corners.

If you want to see pictures on how they look installed, and how to install them, see my page:

With the suspension adjusted all the way up how does the car sit compared to factory?

And how does it compare adjusted all the way down? Is it the three inch drop I've heard?

Thanks,
Jeff
