Ground Control not sittin low in the front??

[Pdotjones]

GC camber plates and coilovers on this car. Non modified strut tube. Had about 1" left on coilover threads.

not trying to thread jack but, your car sits perfect! what size rims and tires are you rolling on, if you dont mind my asking?

yeah I know I know, everyone says plates plates plates. Im working on getting a set of new plates as we speak. I hope to have everything fixed by next week.
I will post updates when I get them and install..

What camber plates are you running??

[z31maniac]

Just the tire.

Like they all have said, I'm nearly tucking the fronts (215/40/17) and could probably take it down another 3/4" maybe a full 1".

Nearly tucking? As in nearly tucking the whole tire/ some wheel?

or get shorter camber plates. the GC plates would give you at *least* an inch of travel at the same height you are right now.. without cuting and welding anything.

+1. all these kids want to go through all the trouble to get those trick VW bodied konis and effort... when all you have to do is buy the right camber plates. Or like that dude Mucci whining about drop with stock strut mounts.

Good to know... Just called IE and cancelled my order and gonna spend the extra 25 on some gc camber plates.

wise.

This still isnt allowing me any shock travel. In the end I see the only and best way to do it is to buy short koni and cut the tubes.

I run GC plates and have it waaaay too low without even trying. (My stock spring perches are still there btw as well!) Do it the normal and RIGHT way and you'll be fine. Sure, you could do the complicated way, but buying the right plates will be fine.

And like Hellabad was pointing out, you can be just as low with billies... if you have the right camber plates. I just saw a slammed GC'ed ride yesterday rolling on billies.
