Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension question about coil-overs..

i was thinking of purchasing the Ground Control Coilover Kit,does any one have this installed????good or bad???do i need to upgrade the shocks/struts???any other recomindations instead..im looking for the best handeling i can get with the lowest stance..
thanks

if u do a search you'll find tons of info.

for the record, koni struts are highly recommended with the gc's. if u want a smooth ride, this isnt the setup. progressive springs would've been nice instead of the linear springs but nonetheless it's fairly easy to get used to.

i really dont care all to much aboutt he ride as long as im not bouncing all over the place..

konis on full stiff and they'll bounce like hell. keep em set low or mid and the bouncing wont be bad. this is with gc's

Stiffening the koni's make small bumps almost bone crushing jar. Bounce is reduced.

Getting the correctly matched springs with your GC's is very important too. Yes their are different spring rates you can get. If you buy new and they are too stiff/bouncy you can call tham they will most likely give you a softer spring. Remember stiffer rates don't make the car handle better always.

got any info on the different springs for the gc's? i've never heard of that.
