thanks for the testimonial! cool

Pete, drop me back to a maybe on these. I spoke with someone regarding the setup for my intended use, and I think I might be going with something different. I will let you know if either way.

Thanks,
Rick

I hope you guys know that the GC kit is used for weight balancing. It has a linear spring rate and the ride is going to be very harsh. It is not your typical lowering kit, it was designed for autoXing, and roadcoarse. It being adjustable is a plus but i don't want to knock on you guys or anything, but if you're not going to use it to balance the weight of the car which is its whole intention for racing, go for the Eibach.
Then again its just my 2 cents.


well, i want the ground controls for the following reasons:

- adjustability of height obviously - good for winter time
- lowering for better suspension, handling
- lowering for better appearance
- lowering to the height of my liking:

this is important because i have 4 huge speed bumps i have to go over in apartment complex. the gc kit allows me to adjust according to the height of the speed bumps. with others i wouldn't have any control over that.

maybe the kit is designed for your stated reasons, but for most people IMO, it's the ability to raise or lower the car according to season, environment, mood, owner's liking, etc. that is the biggest appeal.

Pete, I would like a set of GC's but as you know I just spent all my money on other mods. So its highly unlikely I will be able to get in on the deal within the next few weeks. I appreciate your enthusiasm though!!

Looks like we've been stuck on 11 for awhile now, so I think I'll end the Group Buy on Friday the 14th and ask to have money by the 21st.

I would prefer credit card payments - through my work. That way I can charge or refund your card if necessary for shipping, more people getting involved thus reducing the amount, etc. A receipt can be provided if requested. I will do up a form of some type.

It really depends on Ground Control on when we get them. My guy will order them the same day as I pay for them, so whenever Ground Control gets them sent out.

I'll post more info sometime this week.
