GB - Ground Control stuff

[E30nate]

Ok, that person he's waiting on is me. I was finally able to register and post here. Let's get a tally of who is in/out and what they are looking for specifically.

If you know what you want, ie, spring rates/lengths and understand the principles of suspension tuning, that's great. Specify what you're looking for. (chassis info, damper info., spring rate f/r, spring length front rear). I will review all requests to make sure that the request is within reason.

If you are unsure of what you want, that's ok too. Just message me and I can figure out the best option for you.

By the way, let's just keep it to full kits right now. Half kits gets confusing and complicated.

im for sure in for some coilovers. i know i want 400/600 spring rates, but i dont know what length. we were never informed on our choices for length.

I don't know why Jean isn't replying. But, I don't think you will be able to get 2 springs and adjusters. It comes as a whole setup for front and back and then you have to buy the adjustable camber plates separate. You could buy the 2 adjustable camber plates, because that is all you get, is 2. The camber plates are for the front only.

Give it time. Jean has a life so I'm sure he's not at his computer 24/7 to check r3v.

So with two days left, do we actually have ten people in on this? I kinda need to know cause I need to get this asap. It would be nice to save some money but if we don't have enough people, I will just go ahead and order the kit from GC.

I'm assuming there is no way to get just 2 springs and adjusters? I have to figure out what spring rate is best for me...

Is there anymore room for this GB? What is the purchase date? I saw the cost on the first page, but is that for a set of 2 or 4 or just 1?

TIA

I tried searching for the thread about his suspensions setup, but I never found one. Do you have the link?

He never had a thread about it. It was in one of the ones he was asked, then I asked him in his fender roller thread just yesterday.

No offence taken, I just trying to learn....I understand what coilovers do. I don't track, autox, or race, so I guess your right, I don't NEED coilovers. I just like being low and want the best parts for my car. I have coilovers in my front and would just like to keep it the same for the rear.

[Jean]

I hate to say this, but if you aren't sure what you need maybe an off the shelf H&R Sports or Race is all you really need.

Not trying to be a dick here, but just being honest.

Coil-overs allow you to a) adjust ride height which in terms allows you to play with balance of the car and b) choose spring rates .

This depends on the weight of the car, your driving style, your cars suspension, your tires, camber.

I can be in on this but I'm such a suspension noob. I don't know what I need

I have a set up for my front, I just need something for the rear. I have complete ti trailing arms....and stock 325ic rear suspension. I want to be able to make adjustments in ride height. Sould I just buy these coils and then upgrade my shocks?

Thanks,

Yes... Ask him or look through his threads if you want the details of how he did his setup.

How is he that low with that setup? I don't understand. Did he cut the original spring perches and use the ones GC provides? Please explain more. Thanks.
