Im looking to upgrade my shocks and springs on my WS6, I was looking to get the strano springs with the KYB shocks. But I just saw some coil-over kits on ws6store called gound control, I was woundering if anyone here knows anything about them and if they are any good. Is anyone here running these springs? Any help I can get would be apreciated.

If you do a search, you will find several people have them.

Thanks man, I just talked to Sam Strano. I think he just talked me into buying some koni shocks instead and just wait for the springs a adjustable PHB till I get more cash. He made a hole lot more sence than what I could find on the searches I made. But thanks anyways.

You made the right decision. You'll love the car all over again.

Yeah from what hear they make it feel like a whole diffrent car.

I just hope lowering my car wont hurt me in the 1/4 mile. I had a set of sportlines a while back and they killed my 1/4 mile by like 3-4 tenths.

Ya, sportlines will do that. They really are the worst spring available for the car. Look nice though.

GC coilover/Koni shocks is the best set up for f-body IMO, worth every penny.

If they are setup right they are very good. But when I did my springs, I incorporated spring rates and heights I use on my car into a much easier to install and lighter set of lowering springs.

Had a talk with a man yesterday about this subject. He's going full bore road racing, and I recommended them to him even though I don't sell them anymore (GC is a pain in the *** IMHO) so he can play with rates a bit and corner weight the car. However, most folks aren't doing what he's doing, and what many don't realize is that you can have bad things by having them. You can lower the car too much. You can have screwball spring rates (each end, or both ends in comparison). And it takes some work to install them with Koni's, and if you have a problem you aren't likely to get a warranty becaue of the fact you can slam the car and/or run too little spring and break shocks.
