Does anyone know if you can use the Leda adjustable struts with Ground control coilovers?
I hear the with the stock or Koni struts that the spring perch has to be cut off, but it looks like the Leda don't have a spring perch.
Any info on stuts to use with ground controls would be a help.

The Leda adjustable struts already come with their own style coil-over sleeves attached to them... the ground control kit is un-needed.

do you know how much the Leda suspension kit costs? and where to get it?
and since it has the sleeve is both the strut and the coilover both adjustable like having the Koni's and the Groundcontrol or does it have just one adjustment

The kit is something like $1500+ (I think). The strut is fully adjustable, with 24 positions. The coil-over setup is (naturally) height adjustable. The ride is rather harsh, IIRC. The Koni SA with Ground Control combo is much more streetable, and slightly cheeper. Unless you plan on road-racing all the time, it could be considered overkill compared to the Koni/GC combo.

i'm not road racing, but i wanted a complete system...I heard its a pain in the ass to cut the spring perch off the Koni for the coilovers, and that someshops won't do it.
Also heard that people have to get the coilover welded onto the strut?
Getting the complete system from Leda might be a better deal, after all the labor on the Koni's and groundcontrols
Do you know of a place that sells the Leda kit?

Check with Leda , but I don't remember what the US distributors are at the moment.

I have the ground-control/ koni setup. The easiest part is cutting the perch off and you don't weld it on. The strut is steel and the GC sleeve is aluminum, so you can't weld it. Through two group buys I got the whole setup for under 875. I'm 20 and no great mechanic and I did it all myself. Took about 8 hrs.

Showtime, I will be switching to GC very soon. Like right after NOPI. StreetConcepts has a shop that will do them for $200. I am jumping on that one.
