    WTT:Ground control coilovers for BC super low coilovers.

    As the title states I'm looking to trade my ground control coilovers for BC super low coilovers.

    They have roughly 8k km on them and are in great shape, I just want to go lower than I am now! Koni adjustable shock, medium spring rates and camber plates. Note:will come with GC rear strut mounts.

      Is it the full GC kit that you have?

      Just out of curiosity because GC is far more better and proven than BC, why not just have your struts sectioned off 2"? If it already is sectioned off, you honestly shouldn't have any issues going as low as you want with the right spring length.

          Yup full gc kit, i realize they are a better coilover! they have been so amazing since they first were on my car, but i just want to go the slightest bit lower and i can't! the rears will go lower but the fronts are maxed out. thats why i was trying to trade to for bc's ,because apparently the super low ones go super low haha. i never thought of getting them sectioned off a few more inches, but ill look into that on monday, it would be nice to be able to keep these!

                      Took 2" of my GC's and I'm tucking tire with room to go lower. U should really consider staying with them, the BC's are nice but just not the same.

                          friend of mine cut his struts, i have not. im bottomed out on my coils, he is not. our cars are the same height from the ground. he technically could put his valence on the ground or close to it if he was crazy enough. just cut your struts.

                            My housing is cut down two inchs, Full Ground Control kit, I can pretty much be on the ground in the front depending on your tire/rim size. 16x8 on 215/45/16 S drives. The rear is the issue since I would have to change out springs if I wanted to be lower. I would check to see how much it would cost to get shorten stocks,(e30 IX shocks work with koni/bilstein) and weld it together could cost you less then paying shipping to ship out your kit+buying a new BC kit.
