Stazi installed these exact ones on my SVT yesterday. Not the other ebay coilovers, but these exact ones. Stazi believes they are exactly the same as the ground control, just â??different colorâ?.
Now the install, went very smoothly and the rumors of a tough install are way off base. The perches had to be cut to the weld but after that everything fell into place easily. No hoaning, nothing, everything slipped right on as directed. I bought new spax struts with the shorter rods for the coilovers, and there was a little problem where the dust cap was too wide for the screw adjust to slide over. But it quickly popped off with a few hammer clanks. Then once the perch was cut down the screw adjust slid over easily and there was plenty of room to re-install the brass dust cap.
Now to the driving, drove 130 miles home from stazi and was impressed. For the $, damn why didnâ??t I do this a lot sooner?!? It was stiff, but honestly even my girlfriend couldnâ??t notice it too much or even complain about it. The front end diving is all but gone and acceling is much smoother. Had to test it out on an off ramp and doubled the suggested speed sign with ease, something that would have been very sketchy on the stock setup.
Iâ??d say save the $ if they really are exact knock offs as stazi says. Ive never dealt with GCs but there were no install problems, design flaws or anything with these. These seem to work great so far.
Iâ??LL POST PHOTOS IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO
